"Patent Reform 2014" White Paper Available for Download
Over the past 2 years I’ve been closely following the slew of patent reform proposals in Congress, the Executive Branch, the Courts, and the 50 States. I have yet to find a document that lists–much less explains–all the many, many proposals percolating in DC and across the country. So I wrote one: ”PATENT REFORM 2014: A Comprehensive Guide to Current Patent Reform Developments in Congress, the Executive Branch, the Courts and the States.” This 38-page white paper covers over 60 patent proposals. An even more robust version is in development. The current edition (March 24, 2014) is available for free download.
