New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by:
1. reading widely,
2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality,
3. taking year-long sabbaticals.

A post-grant attorney discovers her hometown's holiday festival is threatened by an evil patent holder, and she's got to work with the cute local technical expert to find invalidating prior art - and maybe more - to save the seasonal festivities! Titled: Winter Partes Review

Glad this site’s immolation finally reached some hard IP discourse after burning through the soft brand and TM matters

My position is unchanged.
I'm hopeful the current round of debate on requirements to practice before the USPTO actually results in change.
My 2¢: the "scientific" degree/course req for practice before the @USPTO should go.
If anything, reg exam should just include more ?s testing ability to apply patent frameworks that require general sci/tech reasoning.

PATENTS, please be careful this Halloween! Many reports of unclaimed, limiting language hidden deep inside specifications this year.

Hope the SG does not take another year to brief Interactive. Should be able to reuse a lot of their American Axel brief 😉
Also an opportunity to address CAFC’s Rule 36? 🤞(but probably not)
S. Ct. denied Cert. this a.m. in 10 pat. cases but CVSG in two: skinny label Teva case and (surprise!) Interactive Wearables Alice case. And several more relisted for later conference. supremecourt.gov/orders/cour…

US Patent system is anti-inflationary!
It, uh, reduces monetary supply (?) while providing a, um, non-scarce product and ...offsets ...deficit ...spending. Yes, fewer dollars chasing more goods. Maybe? I dunno.

It's very simple:
Every policy I disagree with causes inflation, every policy I agree with reduces inflation.
