Inventor Claims He Got Patent 20 Years After Filing... But Details Missing

After 20 years, local physicist gets patent for magnet
,----[ Quote ]
| Roy Weinstein had given up.
|
| To heck with the patent office, the 82-
| year-old physicist decided. After waiting
| two decades for a patent on his
| potentially revolutionary superconducting
| magnets, he'd had enough.
|
| âAs you might imagine, waiting 20 years is
| a pretty nasty chore,â said Weinstein, an
| emeritus professor at the University of
| Houston.

Patent Reform Bill Would Curtail Lawsuits Against Those Who Falsely Claim Patent Protection
,----[ Quote ]
| Daniel Ravicher, who has been really
| active in these kinds of lawsuits -- and,
| incidentally, was also a major player in
| the Myriad gene patent case -- helping to
| get gene patents invalidated -- has an
| article up trashing the patent reform bill
| for "protecting patent lying."

Don't Protect Patent Lying
,----[ Quote ]
| Without the cloak of behind-the-scenes
| corporate influence, it becomes
| immediately apparent that there is no
| rational explanation for the Senators'
| sudden rush to overturn a law that has
| been part of our country for over 150
| years and whose only impact will be to
| help rid our marketplace of intentionally
| deceptive false statements.

Rejoice: It's No Longer Patent Infringement To Sell A Trading Card With Memorabilia
,----[ Quote ]
| Justin Levine highlights the
| ridiculousness of the patent system today
| by noting that it took the court system
| eight years to determine that attaching
| memorabilia to a trading card shouldn't be
| patentable (pdf)... and even then, a CAFC
| judge dissented, claiming that the patents
| could be valid. The patents in question,
| 5,803,501 and 6,142,532 are pretty
| straightforward. Basically, they're about
| taking some piece of memorabilia and
| attaching it to a trading card (for
| example, attaching a piece of a jersey
| worn in a baseball game to a baseball card
| of the player).
