Patent changes are afoot, but it does not seem likely that anything other than patent trolls will change. Timothy B. Lee, who has written about patents for years, says that reform is sought even by Conservatives and a government-focused site has a new Commentary titled "It’s Time for Congress to Take on Patent Trolls" (trolls are already the focus of the White House [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]).

The case is at the heart of patent litigation between Apple and Samsung.
