Book excerpt: Economic research shows that small businesses are the primary driver of job creation in the United States. Yet, the capacity of American small businesses to create jobs is at risk. American firms compete and grow by supplying products and services that consumers demand, and by internationalising their businesses through licensing, franchising, or exporting. For many small companies, patent protection prevents competitors from simply copying their innovations, and aids in attracting investor capital needed to grow, build market share, and create jobs. The aim of this book is to show how the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in coordination with other Federal departments and agencies, can best support businesses with international patent protection. Moreover, upon its signing in 2011, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) substantially overhauled U.S. patent law. Included in AIA was the expansion of the prior user rights defense to infringement and broadening the classes of patents that are eligible for the new limited prior user rights defense. (Here, prior user rights, is a defense to patent infringement afforded to a party that was commercially using, or engaged in substantial preparations for commercial use of, an invention later patented by another party). In the debate about the impact of an expanded prior user rights defense on the patent system and innovation more generally, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office produced a report detailing its findings and recommendations on the operation of prior user rights in the industrialised world, which is discussed further in this book.
Download or read book Patent Trolls written by William J. Watkins and published by Independent Institute. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stiflers of innovation, patent trolls use overbroad patents based on dated technology to threaten litigation and bring infringement suits against inventors. Trolls, also known as nonpracticing entities (NPEs), typically do not produce products or services but are in the business of litigation. They lie in wait for someone to create a process or product that has some relationship to the patent held by the troll, and then they pounce with threats and lawsuits. The cost to the economy is staggering. In Patent Trolls: Predatory Litigation and the Smothering of Innovation, William J. Watkins, Jr., calls attention to this problem and the challenges it poses to maintaining a robust rate of technological progress. After describing recent trends and efforts to “tame the trolls,” Watkins focuses on ground zero in patent litigation—the Eastern District of Texas, where a combination of factors makes this the lawsuit venue of choice for strategically minded patent trolls. He also examines a more fundamental problem: an outmoded patent system that is wholly ill suited for the modern economy. Finally, he examines proposals for reforming the U.S. patent system, which was created to spur innovation but today is having the opposite effect. If legal reformers heed the analyses and proposals presented in this book, the prospects for crafting a legal environment that promotes innovation are favorable.

Download or read book Why Patent Trolling by High Tech Companies is Stifling Competition Innovation And What We Should Do About It written by Andrew Grosvenor and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently there has been an explosion of patent litigation in the high-tech sector as companies buy up patent portfolios and use them to force settlement agreements from competitors. This has led to an environment in which “patent trolling” is prevalent, and smaller players are pushed out of the market because they lack the patent portfolios to compete. Patent trolls are companies that do not create products, but instead acquire portfolios of basic patents that they use to sue possible infringers for fast profits. Larger tech companies such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft have recently begun to use their vast patent portfolios in this way, especially in the mobile sector where competition is most fierce. This note will analyze the current state of the patent system with regard to the big tech lawsuits including how broad “process” patents on software have helped create new problems, and will compare relevant aspects of the U.S. system to standards in other countries to assess ways to improve our system. The note will also evaluate current legislative efforts to reform the system and make recommendations regarding what the most effective changes would be. The purpose of the patent system is to encourage innovation and to reward inventors by protecting the fruits of their labor. Abuse of this sanctioned monopoly is helping to consolidate the tech marketplace to the few large companies that are winning the patent “arms race.” This note will propose reforms that will encourage true competition while retaining incentives to encourage innovation in the tech sector.
