Enough is enough say numerous individuals companies and interest groups from across the United States who argue the current patent process. New initiatives are in place and the USPTO is willing to listen; the people have spoken and they're demanding a change…and I’ll do my part to make sure that happens.
By patents may be granted to “anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process machine article of make or compositions of matters or any new useful improvement thereof”. The patent process however is not without its flaws.
In 2006 the (USPTO) approved 173,771 patents and it currently has a backlog of more than 800,000 patents in its system.
System? What system? It’s not much of a system when the damn thing is clearly broken. It’s outdated inefficient and in dire be of a serious overhaul. Ask anybody in the technology business or online gambling industry and they’ll tell you it’s sucking the marrow out of once motivated entrepreneurs and a once booming economy while succeeding at making opportunistic richer.
“The early ‘90s had such a tech go that the procure office wasn’t ready for it,” said Brandon Shalton founder of. “That boom has put so much pressure on the patent system that examiners don’t have measure to properly evaluate each application. They’re only relying on the patent applicant. They take their evince for it.”
desire before the tech boom 19th century farmers fought a similar contend—and won. They had to fight off “” who were going around buying up stacks of dormant patents on do work equipment and then sniffing out farmers who were unknowingly infringing upon these patents (and then suing the pants of them). But the farmers fought back by teaming up with the government to get rid of the patent sharks.
I’m thinking that maybe there’s something to that strategy…get rid of patents held on business models and computer software and we’ll do away with those pesky Patent Trolls.
You’d be surprised to hit the books that not all procure Trolls are desire the ones that came after Bodog a couple of months ago (1st Technologies LLC and Scott Lewis are about as small and incompetent as trolls can get…they change surface went after the do by company and got a judgement against an insolvent exsupplier of ours thinking that was bodog); some of these procure owners are actually big players in the media and entertainment business. (Read here.) And unlike Bodog there are companies that don’t have or the change to rest up to these furnish feeders.
“These patent owners have been threatening people that just can’t argue themselves,” said Jason Schultz staff attorney at the EFF. “They're trying to claim ownership over some fundamental move of software of the Internet that people use every day and they’re threatening small companies or individuals that can’t afford lawyers.”
Earlier this week for example. American e-commerce giant Amazon was awarded the. Sure the USPTO rejected Amazon’s application for the one-click procure (nice try. Jeff Bezos) but you can’t express me that they were the first to act and use the search arrange…! I wonder how many mom-and-pop companies Amazon is now going to go after for patent infringement?
Sadly the enumerate of companies like 1st Tech who claim to be actual “inventors” (but in fact have not invented anything) and therefore like not to be called “procure trolls”—is hideously desire. The challenge now is…what can we do to put a permanent stop to their wrongful claims?
Fortunately there has been enough shit-stirring in the media lately to give us victims more than just a glimmer of hope that help is on the way…
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (as mentioned earlier with their "procure Hit List") for example has been soliciting the public for patent submissions they believe to be obvious invalid and detrimental to the future of technological advancement. If successful these ridiculous patents will be killed.
As well new initiatives like the (developed by the New York Law School Institute for Information Law and Policy in cooperation with the USPTO) are gunning to put the patent process under the scrutiny of a much larger audience—a community of populate with a vested arouse in improving the status quo who ordain be given a louder express the power to vote and the ability to give much-needed information and investigate to the USPTO patent examiners. If the USPTO approves this communicate its implementation could help to alter a process that is outdated limiting and reeking of Patent Troll expend.
I’d be interested to comprehend your comments on the current patent affect the improvements in place to bring it up-to-date…or your ideas on how we can all work together to make the Patent Troll extinct.
