Sen. Hatch says U.S. patent bill will pass
,----[ Quote ]
| Senator Orrin Hatch, a leading proponent of a bill to overhaul the patent
| process, predicted it will pass and contain language making it more difficult
| to show misconduct in applying for patents.
|
| The Senate version of the patent reform bill does not currently include
| language making it harder to strip a patent holder of a patent if they erred
| in the application process, known as "inequitable conduct" in the patent
| world.

The Economic Impact of Software Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| The UK's Patent Office – which now goes by the awful name of UK Intellectual
| Property Office, which means it's really the UK Intellectual Monopolies
| Office – is a curious beast. On the one hand, as its name suggests, it's tied
| into one of the biggest confidence tricks around, dressing up conceptual
| mutton as intellectual lamb. On the other, there are odd outbreaks of sanity
| that suggest someone in there understands some of the deeper issues
| concerning software patents.
|
| [...]
|
| It's not coincidence that Microsoft still maintains that GNU/Linux infringes
| on some 200 of its sacred software patents – and yet is strangely coy about
| naming them, since it doesn't want its bluff called.
