“the three great and primary rights of personal security, personal liberty and private property”
To secure life, liberty and property has for centuries been the purpose of government in the minds of Americans and our founders and even their ancestors dating back to the middle ages in England. Blackstone as in the above article by Samuel Adams wrote of it. James Madison went so far to say that it was the protection of our ‘faculties’, or creations and discoveries that was the “first object of government”. Yet changes in our laws since the 2005 SCOTUS Mercexchange decision have severely eroded any such protection to where it can no longer be said inventors have any material right to their inventions. Even if we can get a patent after fighting the Patent Office sometimes for decades we have no chance of successfully enforcing them. That explains why small entity patents and applications have so plummeted to only about 10% of their historical share, if not less and still falling.
Our bill will reverse that where inventors will once again have a realistic expectation we will be able to commercialize our inventions. Congress, we need your help. Pass our bill.
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/
