Interesting new pilot program introduced by the USPTO. I see limited benefit, especially with no reduction in filing fees, and seems yet another way to move closer to EPO style prosecution.

Real question: why do people refer to elected politicians as “leaders”? They are representatives, correct? We need to stop calling them bs names that bloat egos and start demanding they listen to constituents.

If you write an article about a lawsuit, post the complaint. There's no legitimate reason not to.

A humbling experience: I just had to look up the plural form of "axis".

BTW, it is "axes".

Luke Mohrhauser @patentluke.bsky.social · Jul 28

This is the issue. How will anything be valued? Absent an ongoing licensing arrangement (which no one will want published anyway), there would be major differences in patent "values".

Leon English @leonenglish.bsky.social · Jul 28

Details will matter, and I'm paywalled so maybe this is in there, but among other things it's extremely difficult to accurately value patents at the application stage

George Pearkes @peark.es · Jul 28

I...really don't hate this idea.

"Commerce Department officials are discussing charging patent holders 1% to 5% of their overall patent value, a shift that could dramatically increase fees, according to people familiar with the matter"

"two first-rate economists, David Cutler and Ed Glaeser, have made a stab at estimating the impact of cuts at NIH. Their analysis suggests that these cuts might save $500 billion in federal spending over the next 25 years — while imposing more than $8 trillion in losses."

For MAGA, Ignorance is Strength

Research cuts aren’t about shrinking government, they’re about killing science
