New Senate Patent Reform Bill Details Released
,----[ Quote ]
| Supplemental Examinations: Permits a
| patent holder to provide additional,
| potentially material prior art regarding
| the patent to the PTO. If the PTO
| considers the information and determines
| it has no effect on patentability, that
| additional information cannot serve as the
| basis for an inequitable conduct claim
| later in court. The information must be
| presented to the PTO and any reexamination
| must be completed prior to litigation.

Patent Reform Bill Released: More Of The Same
,----[ Quote ]
| It still tries to switch the US to a
| "first to file" system, rather than "first
| to invent" -- which just encourages more
| patents being filed faster, rather than
| better patents being filed. It has the
| same (controversial) damages setup as last
| year, which would be useful in limiting
| damages from infringement, but which many
| special interests hate.

How Hard Is It To Realize That One-Click Buying Doesn't Deserve A Patent?
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon and Jeff Bezos (who a decade ago was
| a founder of a project to bust bogus
| patents) have aggressively fought to keep
| the patent alive. And so we've now entered
| the fifth year of the review process, which
| seems to involve some rather annoyed USPTO
| patent examiners, who are fed up with what
| appears to be Amazon simply dumping
| busywork on the examiners to avoid a final
| rejection of the patent.
