‘PTAB destroys the patents…’

‘https://www.redstate.com/setonmotley/2018/11/20/lack-patent-protection-destroying-america%E2%80%99s-future-economy/

‘USPTOs PTAB destroys the patents the USPTO just exhaustively researched and finally approved – in just a few days or weeks.’

No doubt, post issue admin reviews are catastrophic for us and allow our large multinational competitor infringers to rob and crush us at will. As a result, small entity issued patents have collapsed to only about 10% of their historical share -if not less and still falling. We spend years of our lives if not decades and often our life savings fighting the Patent Office to get our patents to only lose them in a pseudo legal process which deprives us of our constitutionally guaranteed rights. When we have to fight to get, keep, or enforce our patents we go out of business and our large competitors parade by handsomely enriched by our inventions they have stolen.

‘Patent Office should be resources for inventors’

‘https://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/11/02/a-patent-dream-come-true/id=102926/

‘The point is that all the components of the Patent Office should be resources for inventors, not adversaries, working to issue valid patents.’

We wholeheartedly agree. The patent system exists to encourage inventors -not infringers. With recent previous directors, inventors believed it did the latter. We applaud Director Iancu’s direction and it is our sincere wish he will reform the entire patent office all the way to and including PTAB and purge all remaining large infringer elements so that inventors will once again believe it is our patent office, not of our large infringing competitors used by them to strip us our our property and crush us. The patent system should protect inventor property and help us obtain clear title to, from the examining division all the way to PTAB -not help large multinationals rob us of it. Amen to that!

‘ashamed’

‘https://www.inspirationalstories.com/quotes/t/confucius-on-money-wealth/

In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of.

In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.
(Confucius)

‘people who call…’

‘https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/415956-silicon-valley-is-the-land-of-unicorns-and-trolls

‘people who call non-practicing entities (NPE) patent trolls’

Do the math:

non-practicing entity=patent troll=small competitor

Clearly, Director Iancu has already done so. We applaud his acuity.

Take a look at their ‘partners’ page…

Partners

Inventors will tell you they include some of the world’s biggest infringers (invention thieves). Partners in crime? Do they own or control them? Does this Austrian company only say what they are told to? Is theirs a doctrine of theft and deceit?

The truth is America’s patent system is now in shambles. For us patents are now far too hard to get, keep and enforce. When we have to fight for any of these we go out of business. As a result, our large multinational competitors are now free to rob and crush us, and they do so readily. Don’t believe the lies of thieves and their partners in crime.

‘your intellectual property is then of no value’

‘http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/10/26/judge-stoll-aipla-alice-mayo/id=102708/

‘it can be very difficult for clients where you’ve invested in your intellectual property under one set of rules only to have the rules completely change and your intellectual property is then of no value…’

For inventors and small businesses it means ruin. In most every case it means we have invested years if not decades of our lives and often our life’s savings into an invention we have no chance of ever commercializing or even benefiting materially from. All we can do is sit on the curb distraught and in disbelief while our large multinational competitors parade by lavishly enriched from our inventions they have ‘legally’ stolen.

Yet the Constitution establishes that all ‘useful inventions’ are deserving of a patent. Clearly present law, in some cases as legislated and in others as adjudicated, has corrupted or usurped the Constitution and no longer encourages inventors. Rather it discourages if not obstructs them. It has legalized theft of our inventions. The law and as many believe in some instances those who adjudicate on it must be changed. One if not both are broken. Our bill will repair all and once again inventors will have a realistic expectation we will be able to commercialize our inventions.

‘USPTO Director Andrei Iancu …’

‘https://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/10/30/uspto-end-repeated-concerted-patent-attacks/id=102847/

‘USPTO Director Andrei Iancu has already done much (see here, here, here, here and here) to begin to reform the PTAB’

We agree, but admin reviews are a far bigger problem for small entities than all other patent holders. What will work for them will not work for us. When we have to fight to keep our patents we go out of business.

The IPR section of AIA was ‘sold’ to Congress with the promise it would be a faster and cheaper: better way to settle patent disputes than the courts, but that can only be if all other factors between the 2 proceedings are the same, or at least no more prejudicial to inventors. If factors such as the law or standards as applied in admin reviews are more prejudicial to inventors, we will be at a disadvantage and therefore admin reviews cannot be better and in fact are worse –far worse. We believe the best way to ensure admin review will be better is to make them only with the consent of the patent holders. That will also protect our right to trial by juries. If admin reviews truly are faster/cheaper/better, we will jump at the chance to use them. If they are not, we will then have recourse to the courts as the Constitution demands. That is the only fair and just solution. No doubt, that would be an ‘inconvenience’ to our large competitors who prefer to rob us in peace and at will as they presently are permitted to do under current law.
