Litigation is much more expensive than that. Inter Partes Review and early summary judgment on 101 are the cheapest way to go in many circumstances. It is what is happening these days too.

I would say that Judge Grewal is one of the most influential judges in patent law in the country. I am saddened that he left the bench.

The example of VirnetX is interesting because it is "troll" in the eyes of many, but the patents it is suing on are from SAIC, with whom they are partnering with.

A few universities have started partnering up with law firms that will monetize their IP on contingency (presumably) to raise money for the university. It's a recent trend. Carnegie Mellon won a $1.5B verdict recently (though I think

The regional circuits created a mess with patent law. Wasn't it the 7th circuit that never found a patent to be valid. 3M was justifiably upset about that. If forum shopping is bad now, think how it would be with regional circuit pat

If the Fed Circuit reverses, it might be on the evidence, but that is a higher standard for reversal.

I don't think a significant portion of Native Americans find "Oklahoma" to be racist. (based on a guess, not based on any studies) The point of the ruling was a significant portions of Native Americans found "redskins&qu

The decision is not based on the dictionary definition only, but based on the fact 1/3 of Native Americans have consistently (based on the evidence presented) thought the term to be offensive. Oddly enough, one of the owners of the red

Also, do your own initial search to see if anyone else has made this "invention." This may save you a lot of time and money. patents.google.com is a good place to start.

With the Federal Circuit punting it to the Supreme Court, I don't they will leave it that vague. The Supreme Court does not like bright line rules for patents, I think they will come up with a balancing, multi-factor test.

My point it is there can never be a Bell Labs again. Very few organizations have the resources to fund basic sciences and have all the talent they had under one roof. Some argue that you can again, but I just don't see how it is possi

I think it is hard to top what AT&T did with Bell Labs. They had a government mandated monopoly with tons of money to fund basic scientific research and ended up with a few Nobel prizes in the process. I think the more apt organizatio

I would agree. I think using Latex for a brief is likely to get a deputy clerk sending you a notice. District Courts will have local rules on formatting (with California having the oddest one I have seen yet).

The Federal Circuit en banc decision on CLS Bank v. Alice is coming out soon. This case will likely give guidance on a 101 patent subject matter test for software patents (which the Supreme Court would then overrule). The certified questio

Patents are extremely important for a startup generally (especially for getting funding from VCs). Not sure how much it affects funding in the software side of things (depending on what you actually do I would guess). Patents are helpful

It is a little bit more complicated than that. Transferring out of EDTX has been easier since the Fed Cir granted mandamus in In re TS Tech and its progeny (which was based on a 5th Cir decision, In re Volkswagen). The case law is still d
