Book excerpt: This volume assembles papers commissioned by the National Research Council's Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) to inform judgments about the significant institutional and policy changes in the patent system made over the past two decades. The chapters fall into three areas. The first four chapters consider the determinants and effects of changes in patent "quality." Quality refers to whether patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) meet the statutory standards of patentability, including novelty, nonobviousness, and utility. The fifth and sixth chapters consider the growth in patent litigation, which may itself be a function of changes in the quality of contested patents. The final three chapters explore controversies associated with the extension of patents into new domains of technology, including biomedicine, software, and business methods.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Patentability Of Internet Business Methods In The People's Republic Of China Submitted by Jiang Lilou for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in November 2004 Traditional business methods are manually performed and are not normally patentable. However, the rapid development of the Internet, e-commerce and telecommunications technology has seen the emergence of a range of business method related inventions. Such inventions, designed for internet-based business sectors, are highly advanced technically. Because Internet business methods are vulnerable to copying because of the open-code nature of the Internet, copyright cannot offer sufficient protection to the functionally technical ideas embedded, and it has become generally accepted in the West that they deserve protection through patent. The patent law systems in the USA, Europe, and Japan have gradually converged in recent years to acknowledge the patent eligibility of business methods. Until recently, China has been very reluctant to extend patent protection to Internet business methods, because of its concern to protect the interests of its own developing internet-related industry. It has taken the view that such a step would disadvantage local companies, which would be unable to compete with foreign rivals. However, as policymakers in China have realized that failure to protect intellectual property will block or delay the import of highly advanced internet-related technology, and will in the long run impede the development of China's own internet-related industries, this view has changed. There is now a growing willingness on the part of the Chinese authorities to extend patent protection to Internet business methods. This study examines China's existing Intellectual Property system and analyses the changes necessary to provide adequate protection for Internet business methods. The existing system is clearly inadequate. In order to boost the Chinese internet-based business industry to an internationally competitive level, substantial patent protection for Internet business methods must be provided without delay. However, such patent protection needs to be managed so that only high quality Internet business method patents will emerge. The study concludes that China's Patent Office should strengthen its Prior Art databases and examination manpower, provide technical training to examiners, and establish instructive and practical guidelines for businesses or individuals wishing to patent Internet business method inventions. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3046552 Subjects: Electronic commerce - Law and legislation - China Patent laws and legislation - China - Hong Kong

Book excerpt: Although business methods previously had been patented, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit first gave them formal recognition as patentable subject matter in 1998. Internet business method patents have been roundly criticized by most observers as being singularly inferior to most other patents. Many have even argued that business methods should not be patentable subject matter. As a result, Congress and the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) singled them out for special treatment. All of these criticisms were voiced without empirical support. We gathered data on most Internet business method patents issued through the end of 1999 and compared them with a large contemporaneous data set of patents in general. We also compared them with patents in fourteen individual technology areas within the general patent data set. Our comparison focused on several metrics that we believe serve as good proxies for patent quality and value. We found that Internet business method patents appear to have been no worse than the average patent, and possibly even better than most. They also appear to have been no worse, and possibly even better than patents in most individual technology areas. These findings lead us to question the conventional wisdom that these patents were uniquely deficient. We briefly explore some possible explanations for the chasm between the accepted view and what we believe to have been the reality, including the possibility that negative opinions about these patents may have been characterized by an information cascade. More important, we believe that efforts to single out these patents for special treatment not only lacked sound justification in the particular case but also reveal more fundamental problems associated with ex ante definitions to carve out any particular technology area for different treatment.

Download or read book The Internet and the Emerging Importance of New Forms of Intellectual Property written by Susy Frankel and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term ‘intellectual property’ has come to include numerous intangible rights beyond the traditional ‘Big Three’ (patent, trademark and copyright) – rights that force us to reconsider and maybe also change the object and purpose of intellectual property (IP). Not only do these rights generally have less solid normative footing and few if any well understood inherent limits, but the borders of their misappropriation are hard to draw. This groundbreaking book scrutinizes the existence of commonalities in this realm, and poses the question of what risks and advantages accrue to such IP or ‘IP-like’ rights. Sixteen distinguished contributors offer in-depth analyses of such rights as the following: - trade secrets; - image and publicity rights; - geographical indications; - traditional knowledge; - protection of databases; and - sports rights and ambush marketing. Recommendations and solutions investigated include the use of specialized courts or judges and of private standards. There are also thoughtful considerations of practices such as forum-shifting and an analysis of the special value of evolving Chinese law as a ‘norm laboratory’. Two chapters discuss the complexities of enforcement. Enforcement impacts substantive intellectual property and can be said to be its own ‘form’ of IP. Practitioners, judges, academics, and policymakers will all welcome this work and value it highly. Its contributors collectively take a giant step toward clarifying and synthesizing one of the most baffling areas of current law both internationally and at national level around the globe.
