MIP has a new article about PTAB’s chief judge Ruschke. They can discern or tell apart innovation from junk. At PTAB, by contrast, the chiefs are scientists, so no wonder they toss patents in the trash all the time.

“They can discern or tell apart innovation from junk.”That is often true and applicable when it comes to copyrights in relation to code (see for example Oracle’s case against Google). The trouble is that these patents must be enforced in a court system that isn’t set up to adjudicate highly technical matters-resulting in rulings that seem arbitrary or even scientifically suspect.” It says: “Patents are the lifeblood of biotechnology, the force that motivates companies to develop innovative medical treatments and bring them to market. The following new article, which is behind a paywall, is titled “Patent Judges Should Be Scientists, Too” ( Wall Street Journal).

How does that promote/advance science and technology? It actually accomplishes the very opposite.ĭeciding on matters like software patentability without even knowing how programming works and how computers work is outrageous, but it happens all the time. Once they received a lawsuit threat, developers chose an immediate retreat.

We previously wrote about several Android applications that got axed (wiped off the face of the Earth) because of software patents.
“If you’re curious,” wrote a person on this new article about FOSS in Android, for lack of features “the reason is software patents.” That’s good for software developers, not necessarily FOSS developers but all developers in every country. “We previously wrote about several Android applications that got axed (wiped off the face of the Earth) because of software patents.”Well, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) has had to obey what the highest possible court said, even begrudgingly. The Court held that that merely requiring “generic computer implementation” failed to transform an otherwise abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention.” CLS Bank decision, finding that a computer-implemented, electronic escrow service was a non-patentable abstract idea. Section 101 of the Patent Act governs what subject matter is patent eligible, excluding among other things abstract ideas from being patented. CLS Bank decision, finding that a computer-implemented, electronic escrow service was a non-patentable abstract idea.”įrom the body of the article: “Until two years ago, software was generally patentable in the United States. “Whatever one’s opinion might be on software patents, statistics show very clearly that the overwhelming majority of software developers reject them outright.” “Reading the Federal Circuit’s tea leaves on software patentability” is a new article whose summary introduces Alice: “In June 2014, the U.S. Whatever one’s opinion might be on software patents, statistics show very clearly that the overwhelming majority of software developers reject them outright. No longer can they make a living by taxing software developers like yours truly and millions of people all around the world. But it’s actually happening and proponents of software patents are panicking (even writing “ALICE” in all CAPS or resorting to very old articles that are somehow supportive of their argument).
A decade ago we could probably be called “crazy” for suggesting that software patents would one day be kaput even at the USPTO. T ECHRIGHTS is gratified to see a decade of activism and long-sought reforms coming to fruition.

Summary: With help from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) - not just patent courts - software patents drop like flies by the thousands
Roy SchestowitzĪ reminder of why the EPO‘s boards of appeal should be broadened, not squashed/scuttled/exiled Posted in America, Patents at 2:20 pm by Dr. 08.25.16 PTAB Emerges as Hero of USPTO Because Quality of Patents Improves, Software Patents Are Effectively Dead (or Dying Once Reassessed)
