The patents share a common inventor (Daniel H. Abelow). The patents all descend from the '998 patent ( http://imgur.com/dJT7o ): the '834 patent is a continuation of the '908, the '565 is a continuation of the '834, and the '078 is a cont

On the subject of kids pages, if you haven't seen the NSA's CryptoKids ( http://www.nsa.gov/kids/ ), CIA's ( https://www.cia.gov/kids-page/ ) or the NRO's ( http://www.nro.gov/kidspages.html ) kids pages, I'd recommend a quick look.

I am in complete agreement that augmented reality ("AR") has the potential to be a game changer for physical tasks. It is the kind of thing that has the potential to raise the effective IQ of the user quite substantially. The military has

If you have the time, I strongly recommend checking out the Barry Schwartz and Dan Gilbert talks at TED on choice ( http://www.ted.com/talks/tags/choice ). If you don't have time, my tl;dr from them: people like the idea of having choice

I think it's worth noting that as a nation we have chosen to be "biased" in favor of patents. A patent is presumptively valid. To find a patent invalid a jury's standard is "clear and convincing evidence." By contrast the standard for in

Experts are employed in most (probably closer to all) patent trials, but they tend to have an offsetting effect (or at least that is the opinion). I think a system of appointed masters has its issues too. Theoretically, that is the PTOs ro

Honestly, I think being a juror in a patent trial is a hard proposition anywhere. Why do I say that: -The subject matter is likely to be mostly to totally outside of a person's technical depth and factual experience. (Here I try and think

While the author makes good points, I believe it is very premature to call it stopped. "Stopped" would be passing positive law staking control over the area SOPA/PIPA wanted to control. What we continue to have is empty space that no one

Wikipedia describes https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Twin_QSO ("Old Faithful") as the first identified gravitationally lensed object. So, "since forever" is 1979, which makes me feel old.

Your DDoP attack would essentially work, at least under the current US system of things. Having an actual built and tested thing is not required. A patent claim (a numbered thing at the back of a patent), is, at its core, a paragraph. The

Perhaps the thinking was, "if we release them they will reinstate the bounty"? Alternatively, you could be correct and the story could apocryphal.

Generally speaking, the law in the US affords one a broad ability to contract. That is to say A and B can make a deal and a court will hold them to it. This property of the law has obvious and immense value. The ability to contract is no

Yes, and this re-examination was initiated by the PTO director too! [The PTO can order re-exam on its own action (as opposed to action by an outside party)] It may sadden you, but the patent was invalidated based on at least two pieces of

As I read it, the story sounds _exactly_ like the kind of thing I'd make up if I were the CIA and wanted to convince anyone that I didn't have an office in the area. It would nicely convince everyone that I was not present, I was unlikely t
