Patent defendants aren't copycats. So who's the real inventor here?
,----[ Quote ]
| So, who are the nation's "independent inventors?" Are they patent-holders
| busy denouncing patent reform? Or are they the people and companies who must
| defend themselves against lawsuits brought by those patent-holders?

India Fights Patents with Huge Prior Art Database
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a huge, multilingual resource – something that could only be put
| together with governmental support and resources. It is also fairly specific
| to the domain of traditional knowledge. Nonetheless, it's a great example of
| how an extensive prior art database can be created and then made readily
| available to the patent authorities in order to help prevent patents being
| granted unjustifiably. It's a pity that we are unlikely to see anything quite
| like it for other knowledge domains.

14-year-old newspaper column becomes prior art in patent litigation
,----[ Quote ]
| GraniteGeek of the Nashua Telegraph illustrates how a newspaper article can
| become prior art in a patent litigation. It also illustrates (as does the
| Ciba-Geigy v. Alza case) that enablement standards for prior art can be
| looser than for patent applications.
