Another Bump in the Road to Reform Patent Law

June 20, 2007 2:00 PM

This morning Patent Hawk posted a blog entitled, "Drowning".  Here's a link to his website (http://www.patenthawk.com/blog/) a link to his blog, Patent Prospector can be found in our Friends list.


 The blog is on a letter from 200+ companies, universities and organizations like Qualcomm, Cornell University, and IEEE that was addressed to Senators Patrick J. Leahy, Arlen Specter, and
Representatives John Conyers, Jr., Lamar S. Smith, Howard L. Berman, and Howard Coble.  The letter addresses concerns with respect to the Patent Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1145 and HR 1908) including apportionment of damages, open-ended post-grant review, granting rule making authority to the PTO, and the need to include grace periods to allow for organizations, firms, and
inventors to adapt to the first-to-file system.
