‘The first question asks…’

‘The first question asks…’

But we think there’s a bigger question that should be asked. Is it proper, legal, or just for the PTO to review the validity of an issued patent, especially where there is related ongoing litigation?

There are multiple problems with this. First, inventors do not trust the PTO. For years now they have forced inventors to fight them to get a patent. With the disclosure of the secret SAWS program at the PTO it has all become clear to us. And with the former head of patents for a large repeat infringer who has been a central player in what they call ‘patent reform’ at its helm it becomes even more so. Inventors believe PTO management is not impartial and cannot be trusted, certainly not when it comes to validating patents caught up in litigation. There is a reason why we have the courts.

Beyond due process another issue is that post issue reviews often pit inventors and small entities against large infringers. In court we have access to contingent litigators where we stand a better chance of a fair fight. But at the PTO we do not have that access. It becomes a fight of who can spend the most and naturally the well financed most always win out. Denying inventors the right to judicial review on questions of validity deprives them of their property rights without due process and makes it child’s play for large infringers to steal at will. It’s just not fair.

‘legislation aimed at stopping “patent trolls”’

‘https://morningconsult.com/2016/04/complex-fight-patent-trolls-hits-washington-tv-screens/

‘legislation aimed at stopping “patent trolls” from extorting money from companies’

plain English translation: legislation that will legalize property theft

Call it what you will…patent hoarder, patent troll, non-practicing entity, shell company, etc. It all means one thing: “we’re using your invention and we’re not going to stop or pay”. These issues are only ‘complex’ because of all the large multinational invention thief Chinese style propaganda. Just because they call it ‘reform’ doesn’t mean it is.

‘Silicon Valley has waged a war on patents’

‘http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/22/jaron_lanier_on_ip/

‘For the past twenty years, Silicon Valley has waged a war on patents and copyright. Google alone funds over 150 digital rights astroturf groups, think tanks and academic departments to advance its case for weakening copyright. This campaign has been reasonably successful in the US, as the formerly independent agencies like the Patent Office and the FCC are now aligned with Google, and in both cases populated by former Google employees.’

We agree. Don’t believe the lies of thieves. Just because they call it reform doesn’t mean it is.

“patent troll”

‘http://setexasrecord.com/stories/510718141-federal-justices-axe-85m-patent-verdict-against-google

‘SimpleAir, a “patent troll”…’

We note the Record does not accept comments on their site which blocks open public debate. Have they been commandeered by ‘patent thieves’?

‘study on patent assertion entities’

‘http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2016/04/20/why-the-ftc-study-on-paes-is-destined-to-produce-incomplete-and-inaccurate-results/id=68453/

‘the results of its study on patent assertion entities’

Whatever their ‘business model’ is it doesn’t matter. All that matters is whoever owns the patent owns the invention, including the right to license or exclude all who would use it. It’s a property right, for Pete’s sake. Will the insanity please STOP! Stop listening to the Chinese style propaganda of legalized invention theft. Can anyone reason anymore?

‘makes its money from licensing’

‘https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/04/20/siri-how-much-will-this-lawsuit-cost-apple/

‘Marathon has been labeled as a “non-practicing entity” or “patent troll” because it doesn’t use the patents it holds to create products but rather makes its money from licensing patents and suing other companies for patent infringement.’

So say large multinational invention thieves and their Chinese style propaganda machine. The fact is they make far more off the invention than they pay to use it thanks to a patent system now controlled by thieves. Don’t believe their lies and distortions.

‘plaintiff’ and ‘troll’

‘http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2016/04/17/congressman-issa-calls-patent-trolls-plaintiffs-interchangeable-itc/id=68376/

“for purposes of my opening statement ‘plaintiff’ and ‘troll’ will be interchangeable.”

It’s the same old shell game from large multinational invention thieves. If there aren’t facts to support your arguments, manufacture them.

Call it what you will…patent hoarder, patent troll, non-practicing entity, shell company, etc. It all means one thing: “we’re using your invention and we’re not going to stop or pay”. It’s a pure red herring by large invention thieves and their paid puppets to kill any inventor support system. Their goal is to legalize theft. For the last several years now they have been ransacking and looting small entities taking everything they can carry. The fact is, many of the large multinationals and their puppets who defame inventors in this way themselves make no products in the US or create any American jobs and it is their continued blatant theft which makes it impossible for the true creators to do so. Invention thieves well know many inventors lack the resources to enforce their patent rights so their only recourse is to sell to or partner with others who do have the resources. Otherwise, large invention thieves just thumb their noses at you and steal at will. To infringers the only patents that are legitimate are their own -if they have any. Meanwhile, the huge multinationals ship more and more American’s jobs overseas.

‘allow parties to sue in federal court over trade secrets theft’

‘http://www.therecorder.com/id=1202754537238/Lawyers-Ready-to-Reap-Work-From-Federal-Trade-Secrets-Act?slreturn=20160313132903

‘http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/technology/261688-the-defend-trade-secrets-act-ip-legislation-ready-to-move#disqus_thread

‘a bill that would allow parties to sue in federal court over trade secrets theft’

But trade secret theft is already covered in state courts, plus trade secrets do not help the economy by public sharing of technological advances so one developer can build on another. Anyone know how to make a Stradivarius violin?

Also, few inventions are capable of being protected by trade secret. The rest will die with their inventors. This is just another bad idea likely promoted by large multinational invention thieves. Don’t believe their propaganda.

‘patent litigation rose 13 percent’

‘http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/12/473880115/can-silly-patents-help-fight-frivolous-lawsuits

‘In 2015, patent litigation rose 13 percent from the previous year’

But the law changed and inventors must now file 1 suit for every infringer whereas before tens would commonly be included in each suit. This is just more propaganda by large multinational invention thieves. Don’t believe their lies and their PR propaganda machine. Inventors will tell you EFF is just part of that machine. Who funds and controls them?

‘promising them the same thing’

‘http://spectator.org/articles/66008/can-donald-trump-mend-fences-tech

‘assuage a lot of the fears of tech by promising them the same thing John Cornyn promised in the run-up to the 2014 elections: patent reform’

Inventors will tell you Holt is a pr hack -part of the large multinational propaganda machine to legalize invention theft. Look at his site. Don’t believe the lies of thieves.
