The new rules on challenging patents means that after the retraining, the USPTO
*should* (knock on wood) toss them out. Granted it requires a re-challenge, but
if someone is being obnoxious with the patent, someone will challenge it. If no
one is using the overbroad patent, it can die a cowards death.

IANAL, by I think the president and the USPTO will work together like this:
The USPTO must prepare a legal argument for justifying the new rules. If an
applicant has his patent rejected, he may appeal to the Federal Circuit. Once
someone does so, the USPTO must present their argument. If the Federal Circuit
accepts the argument it becomes a precedent applicable to all issued patent.
Problem solved.
If the Federal Circuit rejects the argument they need not stick with the status
quo. They may present some alternative of their own. The President with the help
of the USPTO will evaluate whether the Federal Circuit decision is acceptable to
him. If it is not acceptable he will work with Congress to change the law.

he will do better by insisting on use of simple/common English in patent
document
- how many people read and can *understand* these patent document ?
- how can someone copy their work if they can't even understand them? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
