Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patent Term and Patent Disclosure Legislation: Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, Washington, DC, April 25, 1996 The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 11 a.m., in room 2359, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Jan Meyers (Chair of the Committee) presiding. Chair Meyers. Good morning. The Committee will come to order. I think we have several people who are on their way, so I will go ahead and get started with a couple of opening remarks and welcome everyone who is here. At the outset, I would like to thank all of our witnesses for being here today. Particularly, Ms. Gardner, who has traveled all the way from San Diego to be with us; a long, long journey. Today we will be discussing two patent issues of importance to small business: Patent terms and patent disclosure. As most of you are aware, there are two different legislative approaches currently pending which address these issues: H.R. 359, which was introduced by Mr. Rohrabacher of California; and H.R. 1733, which was introduced by Mr. Moorhead of California. I personally am a cosponsor of H.R. 359. However, I realize that my colleagues here on the Committee have different views on these issues. I wanted to make sure that we heard from both sides today. While these issues of patent term and patent disclosure were addressed recently in our deliberations leading to the passage of GATT implementing legislation in the last Congress, I believe that many Members were not aware of the full reach of what was contained in every nook and cranny of the GATT accord which emerged from the Uruguay Round. I am a supporter of H.R. 359 for a couple of reasons. First, I believe that the previous system of 17 years of patent protection from the date of grant is more conducive to promoting American innovation and protecting the rights of small business inventors. This particular approach worked quite well for over 130 years. Moreover, I am very concerned about the premature disclosure of intellectual property. Many small businesses work hard to develop new innovations only to lose the ways to market their products to their full potential because of the premature release of technical information. Publication should occur after grant. America has a long and unique tradition of protecting intellectual property.

Download or read book A Patent System for the 21st Century written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.

Book excerpt: The American patent system is designed to protect innovation and thus to make possible further innovation. The major problems surround the tradeoffs involved and whether the system is tilted at any given time more to industry or more to the public interest. Although in theory protection of industry's innovation would seem to be directly to the public's best interest, this is not the case when industry uses the patent laws to charge exorbitant prices in the name of further innovation which becomes a catch all justification for whatever industry wants. Nor is it really aided when industry attempts through every legal manoeuvre conceivable to the human mind, and some not even that, to circumvent the termination period of lucrative patents. This book presents important new information on current issues and laws in this field.

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.
