“Abstract ideas are not patentable”

“Abstract ideas are not patentable”

No doubt, many courts are having great difficulty applying patent law coming out of SCOTUS for the last several years, including Alice and several others. We gather that in part is what prompted former CAFC chief judge Michel to state it appears SCOTUS doesn’t ‘know what they are doing’.

In fact, the rules for what is patentable have become so restrictive and insensible that inventors no longer have any fair chance of obtaining patents for our inventions, or in the unlikely event we do we simply have no hope that we will ever be able to commercialize, enforce, or even benefit materially from them.

For example, the share of small entity issued patents has dropped to only about 1/10th of their historical share, if not less and still falling. We only succeed 3% of the time through appeal and even when we do win the CAFC severely and artificially slashes them to only a small fraction of the true economic benefit the infringers (thieves) receive from their theft. In America, at least for infringers, crime does pay. Worse yet, we no longer can get injunctions to stop their ongoing theft so for them it’s the gift that keeps on giving. For us the the patent system is now a sport of thieves which actually encourages our large competitors to rob and crush us. THIS, is justice?!

We are now forming committees to draft our proposed measures into one or more bills that will restore the American patent system which has through the propaganda and duplicity of large multinational thieves been reduced to rubble.

For our position and the changes we advocate (the rest of the truth) to restore the patent system, or to join our effort, please visit us at https://aminventorsforjustice.wordpress.com/category/our-position/

‘our innovation economy is rocketing DOWNWARD’

Notice the by-line…

‘John Thorne is a partner at Kellogg Hansen and general counsel of the High Tech Inventors Alliance, an association of Adobe, Amazon, Cisco, Dell, Google, Intel, Oracle and Salesforce‘

Inventors will tell you this trade group contains many of the world’s biggest serial patent infringers (invention thieves). Are they a cabal of thieves?

As Mark Twain once wrote, ‘truth is not hard to kill, and (that) a lie well told is immortal’. The fact is small entity issued patents are down to only about 10% of their historical share, if not less and still falling. We only win in court through appeal 3% of the time. And some courts such as the CAFC have severely capped our awarded damages so that even in the rare occasion when we do win our large competitors get off with just a slap on the wrist and keep on robbing us because the courts will no longer issue injunctions to stop their theft. THIS, is justice??

Truly, in America for large thieving corporations crime DOES pay. America is now in a state of commercial anarchy. Inventors have no fair chance of ever commercializing our inventions, or even benefiting in any material way. Why do Congress and the courts allow this commercial looting to continue? Why!

‘misused as tools of aggression’

‘http://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/373187-five-big-agenda-items-for-the-patent-offices-new-director

‘patents are important assets for inventors but also are being misused as tools of aggression, especially against small businesses and emerging startups’

So when they assert their property rights are they then ‘tools of aggression’?

Take a look at their board…

http://www.rstreet.org/about-rstreet/leadership/

Inventors will tell you they are a large infringer lobby group and care nothing for ‘small businesses and emerging startups’, except for ease of robbing and crushing. All they know about patents is…they don’t have any. How much did they pay to publish this propaganda?

The patent system now teeters on the brink of lawlessness. 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. As Mark Twain said, ‘truth is not hard to kill, and (that) a lie well told is immortal’.

‘the quality of patents’

‘http://thehill.com/opinion/technology/373164-new-pto-chief-must-continue-fight-for-high-patent-quality

‘Put another way, the better the quality of patents the PTO issues, the stronger and healthier our patent system will be. ‘

plain English translation: the harder it is for our small competitors to get, keep and enforce their patents, the easier it will be for us to rob and crush them

Take a look at this trade group’s web site.

http://www.siia.net/About/Board-of-Directors

Inventors will tell you it is comprised of some of the world’s biggest serial infringers (thieves). Partners in crime?

The problem is not the patents that issue, but those that do not. Don’t believe the lies of thieves. Just because they call it ‘reform’ doesn’t mean it is.

‘violation of the statutory bar’

‘http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/01/08/federal-circuit-ipr-time-bar-315b-appealable/id=91967/

‘violation of the statutory bar’

These are just some of the reasons why post issue admin review is fundamentally flawed. When inventors have to fight to get, keep, or enforce our patents we go out of business. All such reviews must end.

‘some public debate’

‘some public debate’

For inventors, there is no debating. Post issue review is fundamentally flawed. It must be abolished.

‘the US is atop THEIR rankings’

‘https://www.uschamber.com/press-release/us-chamber-releases-sixth-annual-international-ip-index

‘The U.S., UK, and EU economies remain atop the global IP rankings, though the U.S.’s lead narrowed due to systemic challenges to the U.S patent system. ‘

Sure the US is atop THEIR rankings. Take a look at their board.

https://www.uschamber.com/about/board-directors

Inventors will tell you they are ran by some of the world’s most egregious patent infringers (invention thieves). All they want from the patent system is to be left alone so they can rob and crush their small competitors in peace.

In the present American patent system the truth is inventors no longer have any fair chance of commercializing their inventions. That we only succeed 3% of the time when trying to enforce our patents through appeal proves it. Even in the rare occasion when we do win the CAFC cuts our awards down to crumbs on appeal. In fact, things are so bad for us we are exiting invention and the patent system in large numbers. As proof, our share of issued patents is now down to about 10% of our historical share, if not less and still falling. For us the American patent system is now a sport of thieves.

‘massive intellectual property theft’

‘https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/01/president-donald-trumps-davos-address-in-full-8e14ebc1-79bb-4134-8203-95efca182e94/

‘massive intellectual property theft’

The problem is now more than ever that theft occurs not just outside America, but within. Inventors here now only succeed in enforcing their patents 3% of the time through appeal, our damages have been artificially constrained by some courts so our large infringers even on the rare occasion when we can enforce our patents get off with only a slap on the wrist, and we no longer can get injunctions to stop that theft. Our large competitors have nothing to lose.

The irony of this is that America allows this theft to occur within its borders where it has complete control while large multinational infringers (thieves) divert the government’s attention to theft overseas where it has little control. They want the government to stop theft of their products overseas while they rob and crush their small American competitors here. Can you say, ‘hypocrites’?

First, let’s fix what we can control here then we’ll work to fix what we can overseas. Truly, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves’. We are encouraged that the President acknowledges there is a problem, whereas many inventors will tell you the prior administration helped create it. Now let’s work together to fix it.
