35 U.S.C. ۤ 101 Still in Tact in the United States and Software Patents Rot Away

It is meanwhile being reported that in Japan's JPO -- like in the EPO -- patent applications decrease in number

35 U.S.C. 101 mirror



Summary: The United States, where the number of granted patents decreased last year, becomes more productive; there are more signs that patent maximalism (patent litigation, patent scope etc.) has receded

OUR LATEST daily links sum up some new patent cases/outcomes, including some that involve 35 U.S.C. ۤ 101. USPTO-granted patents on software and life still aren't likely to be tolerated by actual courts and in recent days we've seen many attacks on courts coming from Watchtroll. Do these 'geniuses' at Watchtroll really think that constantly attacking Federal Circuit judges (not just the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) anymore) will lead to more favourable outcomes?



"Nowadays we focus on other topics that are deemed more relevant and strategic."After summer recess expect nobody to mention the latest nonsense from Coons (this is his third time and third year trying). Expect courts to change nothing in their handling of 35 U.S.C. ۤ 101. We feel somewhat vindicated for we predicted these things all along, just like the UPC's demise.

We're glad to know we no longer closely cover US patent cases and matters; seeing the way things are going there (and relegating articles on these matters to news clippings and picks), it doesn't look like we're missing much 'action'. Nowadays we focus on other topics that are deemed more relevant and strategic.
