All this on the heels of the recent Wall Street bailout. I guess business as usual is still the main diet of some elected officials!!

BANKS HAVE DECIDED THAT THEY ARE ABOVE THE EXISTING PATENT LAWS. WELL PERHAPS NOT ABOVE THE LAW, THEY JUST DON`T LIKE PATENT LAWS AS THEY NOW EXISTS. NOW THEY`RE MAKING ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO BUY NEW LEGISLATION. SEN. JEFF SESSIONS WITHDREW HIS AMENDMENT, ATTACHED TO A PREVIOUS PATENT REFORM BILL, THAT WAS DESIGNED TO EXEMPT BANKS FROM PATENT INFRINGEMENT . THIS AMENDMENT WAS, ADMITTEDLY, DEEMED TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND WAS WITHDRAWN BY THE SENATOR HIMSELF. HAD THIS LEGISLATION PASSED, THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BANKS ILLEGAL INFRINGEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN PASSED ON TO THE GENERAL TAX PAYER. WE`RE TALKING ABOUT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BAIL OUT BANKS FOR ILLEGALLY INFRINGING A NUMBER OF VALID UNITED STATES PATENTS. THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ARE ONCE AGAIN, ATTEMPTING TO BUY A (GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD.) OUR LEGISLATORS ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT US, NOT SELL US OUT TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.datathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023114026214458189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851300.post-13110336190620729952008-09-25T15:08:00.000-05:002008-09-25T15:08:00.000-05:00Looks like a bit of a dog's breakfast to me. Grac...Looks like a bit of a dog's breakfast to me. Grace periods don't fit with First to File. There's a very good reason why post-issue inter partes examination of 112 issues is not a feature of opopositions in Europe. Was there ever a patent ever issued anywhere any time that was 100% clear? The European Convention, a common law/civil law compromise between, on the one hand, English (India) patent law and, on the other hand, the German patent law that Japan and China use, serves the rest of the world very well. The USA should either sign up to that, or stay with its own different FTI model, and work on perfecting that. There is no workable half way house. Time will tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
