Week 8 - Patent Litigation & The Government

Hi everyone! We have been able to get some great insight on patent trolls and patent litigation from this whole week, and I have really learned how important the government and laws in place either encourage or discourage these horrible practices.

In this blog post, I wanted to give some tips on how to navigate the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website that was recently launched. President Obama has done a great job of enacting legislation and putting pressure on the Supreme Court to encourage a system that punishes patent trolls.

I highly encourage all of you to go to:

  1. Patents
  2. Maintaining a Patent
  3. Patent Litigation





This website is a great starting point for those who want to be up to date on the government's legislation regarding patent trolls and steps that you can take to avoid getting sued by them! Enjoy!



Thanks,

Payal

  1. I really like how you provided some steps to help avoid being a victim of patent troll. I would suggest providing more specifics on how this works, and exactly how this would prevent being accused for patent infringement by the patent trolls.

  2. Hi Payal,
    I really liked how you provided the USPTO website with a picture of the website, it really elevated your post. However like Shirley mentioned I would have liked to see maybe an example to show the specifics about how these steps could be applied and/or have been.

  3. Hey Payal,

    Echoing others, I like the website link and your tips, but would have liked to see an example or maybe more explanation as to how you arrived at these steps.
