Otra buena razón para cerral la CAFC de una vez por todas

CAFC corruption



Sumario: la tristémente célebre CAFC, que manifestó las patentes de software en los EE.UU, acaba de dar un regalo a los trolles de patentes quienes típicamente usan las patentes de software para extorsión enc complicidad con los jueces del Este de Texas

TEMPRANO este mes y también el mes pasado escribimos acerca de un esfuerzo de restringir a los trolles de patentes de llevar sus casos (o arrastrar a sus acusados/victimas) a cortes ‘amigables’, notablemente cortes en el Distrito Este de Texas donde la mayoría de casos de patentes estan siendo solicitados. Bueno, lo suficientemente triste, la Corte de Apelaciónes del Circuito Federal (CAFC) acaba de alinearse con los trolles (inacción es parcializarse con un lado), así como tomó lado por los proponentes de patentes de software hace varias décadas, abriéndo las compuertas a casu un millón más (típicamente los trolles de patentes usan estos).

Esperemos que esto sea escalado hasta la Corte Suprema…”



El Professor Mark Lemley escribió que el “Circuito Federal no restringirá compra de sedes en casos de patentes. La próxima parada — La Corte Suprema y el Congreso. http://src.bna.com/exf” (EFF nombrado en el citado PDF). Aquí está la declaración emitida por la EFF hace apenas unas horas:

En un fallo decepcionante, pero nada sorprendente, el Circuito Federal confirmó hoy que los titulares de patentes en esencia tienen rienda suelta para presentar una demanda en cualquier pequeño rincón del país, independientemente de su conexión mínimo para el titular de la patente, el presunto infractor, o la tecnología correspondiente. El caso estÀ¡ en re TC Heartland. El presunto infractor, TC Heartland, fue demandado por Kraft en Delaware. TC Heartland preguntó el Circuito Federal, a través de una petición de mandamiento de seguridad, para encontrar que el caso no se oía allí, de acuerdo a las leyes relativas a la "sede".


Lemley citó la declaración temprano (la primera que encontramos en la materia), pero el Professor Dennis Crouch también añadió sus comentarios personales, afirmando: “En su petición por writ of mandamus, TC Heartland levantó una serie de intersantes venues y afirmaciónes personales de jurisdicción – básicamente discutiéndo que ambos el estatuto y la Corte Suprema fuértemente limitan donde los reclamos de patentes pueden ser traídos.” Esperemos que esto sea escalado hasta la Corte Suprema, que a diferencia de la CAFC no está tan parcializada e incluso corrupta (hemos cubierto esto muchas veces con anterioridad).
