The USPTO is extending the comment period to ensure that members of the public have sufficient opportunity to submit comments on the Interim Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Examination Instructions. A notice extending the comment period will be published in the Federal Register, and it will provide a new comment deadline of 30 days from the publication date of the notice in the Federal Register. The USPTO will revise the instructions as appropriate based on comments received. Comments that have already been received are under consideration.
Do Assignments Require Express Language to Cover CIP Patents?
Gerber obtained patents via a broadly-worded assignment conveying all "rights, title and interest" in "the inventions covered thereby and any division reissues and extensions thereof." Notably absent from the assignment was the conveyance of continuation-in-part (CIP) patents and applications.
During litigation, Satisloh moved to dismiss the enforcement of a patent stemming from a CIP related to the previously-assigned patents, arguing that Gerber did not own the patent, and thus had no standing to bring suit. The district court initially dismissed Satisloh's motion. However, on further motion by Satisloh, the court amended the dismissal and certified the issue for interlocutory appeal for the Federal Circuit.
However, Defendants convincingly argue that reasonable grounds exist for a difference of opinion. Although courts have found variously worded assignments to include CIPs, Defendants are correct that there is no binding precedent holding that an assignment with the exact terms cited above includes CIPs. Furthermore, a substantial ground for difference of opinion can be found even in Rowe Int'l Corp. v. Ecast, Inc., 500 F. Supp. 2d 887, on which the Court heavily relied. Although Rowe held that an assignment's failure to use the "magic words" [CIP]" "is of no consequence," the Rowe assignment specifically included "improvements." Rowe, 500 F. Supp. at 891. The Pilkington to Coburn assignment, in contrast, did not mention "improvements" or use other language that referred specifically to CIPs.
[F]or the reasons stated above, Defendants' Motion to Amend and Certify for Interlocutory Appeal is granted. All further proceedings in this case are stayed, pending resolution of the interlocutory appeal by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
In light of this, the Examiner rejected the claims as being directed to nonstatutory subject matter.
Specifically, the Examiner argued that, even though the Specification suggests that the computer usable medium may be a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, the Specification also suggests that "other configurations are possible as well." The Examiner therefore concluded that the computer usable medium is open to any reasonable interpretation and that one of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that a computer usable medium can be interpreted as a carrier wave or a network signal, both of which are considered non-statutory under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
Referring to the Examiner's finding that the Specification also suggests that "other configurations are possible as well," we find that the Specification teaches in particular that "various other [hardware] configurations are possible" . . . Since hardware is a tangible medium, we find that the reference to "various other [hardware] configurations" meets the tangibility requirement to be a manufacture.
Thus, based upon the Specification as a whole, we find that Appellant's description of a 'computer usable medium' is based upon tangible storage media, such as a server, floppy drive 109, main memory 103 and hard disk 105 as specified by Appellant.
We find that the Examiner erred in finding that the cited claims implicate the use of carrier waves that embody a machine executable program or data structure. Therefore, since Appellant's independent claim 13 is limited to being recorded on a (tangible) computer-readable medium, we reverse the Examiner's rejection of independent claim 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as being directed to nonstatutory subject matter.
The BPAI should consider issuing a precedential or informative opinion on the practice of reading non-statutory features into claims by implication. This has become a common practice in certain areas of the USPTO that creates needless conflict for Applicants when a Specification contain catch-all statements ("other configurations are possible") with regard to mediums.
Earlier, the USPTO issued interim examination instructions for evaluating patent subject matter eligibility under 35 U.S.C. 101 (Interim Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Examination Instructions) pending the Bilski decision. According to the USPTO, the Interim Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Examination Instructions will be used by USPTO personnel in their review of patent applications to determine whether the claims in a patent application are directed to patent eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. 101.
Last Thursday, the USPTO requested comments from the public regarding the Interim Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Examination Instructions. Written comments must be received on or before September 28, 2009. No public hearing will be held.
Comments should be sent by electronic mail message over the Internet addressed to AB98.Comments@uspto.gov.
Comments may also be submitted by facsimile to (571) 273–0125, marked to the attention of Caroline D. Dennison.
Although comments may be submitted by mail or facsimile, the USPTO prefers to receive comments via the Internet.
WIPO held a two-day international symposium that concluded on September 18, 2009, where over 40 heads of IP offices participated in various discussions on IP issues. One primary focus of the event was to address the need to pool efforts at the international level to address the problem of backlogs in patent applications.
WIPO Director General Francis Gurry referred to recently published data that showed that the global backlog in unprocessed patent applications around the world in 2007 was a "staggering" 4.2 million. Considering that backlogs have grown on average at a rate of 8.7% over the past five years, Gurry concluded that "this is unsustainable." The USPTO accounted for around 28% of this backlog, followed by Japan, the EPO and the ROK.
The symposium comes on the heels of WIPO's World Intellectual Property Indicators 2009 (formerly known as the "World Patent Report"), which showed that, prior to the 2008 meltdown, IP filings were still robust, with 1.85 million patent (+3.7% increase), almost 3.3 million trademark (+1.6%) and approximately 0.62 million industrial design (+15.3%) applications being filed worldwide.
While the recessionary impact on filings is not known yet, international patent filings in the first half of this year were down 14 percent from a year earlier in the United States, but up 19 percent in China. Japanese international patent filings grew 11 percent while Britain's rose 6 percent in the first half of this year, although domestic filings in both countries fell by over 10 percent.
- While patent filings increased by 3.7%, the growth is less than the 5.2% growth recorded the previous year. Approximately, 59.2% of total patent applications in 2007 were filed in China, Japan and the US.
- Companies continued to seek IP protection outside their domestic markets. In 2007, non-residents accounted for 43.3% of the patents filed worldwide, maintaining a level that was established in 2001.
- The JPO is now number 1: while the USPTO traditionally issued the highest number of patents since 1998, this year the Office was surpassed by the JPO. Additionally, China 's SIPO replaced the EPO as the fourth largest office in terms of issuing grants. The five largest patent offices (the patent offices of Japan, the USA, the Republic of Korea, China and the EPO) accounted for 74.4% of total patent grants.
- Some 6.3 million patents were in force in 2007, with residents of Japan and the USA owning approximately 47% of this total.
- In 2008, approximately 163,600 PCT applications were filed, representing a 2.3% increase on 2007 figures. Applicants from the USA accounted for around 32.7% of all PCT filings.
While other issues (i.e., health reform, bailouts) continue to dominate the attention of Congress, it appears that patent reform is coming back on the radar, as a recent letter from 59 tech companies point out that, "[w]hile some versions of the legislation have been improved this Congress, additional improvements are in order to ensure that the end product avoids serious unintended consequences."
[T]these proposals represent a huge risk for the Patent and Trademark Office, which already is under severe strain as indicated in Congress' emergency approval to use trademark fees for patent functions. Adding new obligations to the agency at this time seems extraordinarily unwise. Almost inherently, the basic patent examination function will suffer, with the result of longer patent pendency and lower patent quality. . .
Another troubling aspect of the post-grant review and inter partes reexamination proposals is that, as written, they are vulnerable to a high level of abuse. Specifically, the current construct of the proposals will allow infringers to subject valid patents to lengthy and repeat challenges.
We agree on the goal of reducing the amount and cost of patent litigation. We do not believe, however, that the post-grant and inter partes provisions, as drafted, will achieve this goal. We urge you to push for improvements to these provisions which will limit the ability of infringers to undermine the very system the legislation attempts to strengthen.
Amgen prosecuted a series of patent applications relating to the production of the protein erythropoietin ("EPO") using recombinant DNA technology. All of the patents stemmed from a common specification disclosed in "the '298 application."
During prosecution, the '298 application was subjected to a 7-way restriction. The applicants elected prosecution of one group of claims, which ultimately issued as a patent. Prior to issuance, Amgen prosecuted withdrawn claims as continuation applications, where a number of patents issued as "product patents" and "process patents."
A patent issuing on an application with respect to which a requirement for restriction under this section has been made . . . shall not be used as a reference . . . against a divisional application or against the original application or any patent issued on either of them, if the divisional application is filed before the issuance of the patent on the other application.
In other words, § 121 shields patents that issue on applications filed as a result of a restriction requirement from double patenting invalidation.
Rouche argued that § 121 cannot shield the later patents because they issued from solely continuation applications to which § 121 is inapplicable. Roche contended that § 121 applies exclusively to divisional applications and patents issuing therefrom. Amgen countered that, although the applications were technically filed as "continuations", a court should look to an application's substance—not its designation—to determine whether it qualifies as a divisional application under § 121's safe harbor.
§ 121 on its face refers to "divisional application[s]." . . . Turning to the legislative history, the court observed that a House Report also referred specifically to "divisional application[s]." Notably absent from the legislative history, in the court's view, was a suggestion "that the safe-harbor provision was, or needed to be, directed at anything but divisional applications." From there, the court "conclude[d] that the protection afforded by section 121 to applications (or patents issued therefrom) filed as a result of a restriction requirement is limited to divisional applications." Accordingly, the court decided that the § 121 safe harbor did not apply to the patent before it, which issued from a continuation-in-part application.
We recognize that, unlike a continuation-in-part application, a continuation application can satisfy the definition of a "divisional application" in MPEP § 201.06. . . . This distinction, however, does not justify departing from a strict application of the plain language of § 121, which affords its benefits to "divisional application[s]."
Amgen does not dispute that it denominated the  applications continuations, that it checked the continuation application box on the submitted form, or that its applications met the PTO's definition of a continuation application in MPEP § 201.07. . . . Instead, Amgen argues that, because the  continuation applications could have been filed as divisional applications, we should treat them as such for purposes of § 121. While this argument convinced the district court to regard the  continuation applications as divisional applications, we are not likewise convinced. We decline to construe "divisional application" in § 121 to encompass Amgen's properly filed, properly designated continuation applications.
Interestingly, the court noted that, if Amgen filed the continuation applications originally as divisionals, and then filed continuations off of the divisional, the safe harbor provision would be left intact ("intervening continuation applications do not render a patent ineligible for § 121 protection so long as they descended from a divisional application filed as a result of a restriction requirement.").
[W]hen an issued patent claims a product and discloses, but does not claim, a process for making that product, the patentee, when later seeking a patent on the disclosed process, may present evidence of post-invention, alternative processes that produce the patented product, in order to show that the process and product are patentably distinct.
The 81-page opinion also dives into a multitude of different issues relating to distinctiveness, anticipation, indefiniteness, claim construction and infringement, and DOE - you can read/download the entire opinion here (link).
"Patent Troll Tracker" Trial Begins in E.D. Tex.
Anyone who has followed the patent blogs since last year is familiar with the now-defunct "Patent Troll Tracker Blog", penned by Rick Frenkel, who, at the time, was in-house patent counsel for Cisco. When commenting on patent holding company ESN and it's lawsuit against Cisco, Frenkel alleged on the blog that the filing date for that patent suit was changed after ESN's local counsel "called the EDTX court clerk, and convinced him/her to change the docket to reflect an October 16 filing date, rather than the October 15 filing date." This change was made, according to Frenkel, in order to "try to manufacture subject matter jurisdiction."
ESN's counsel Eric Albritton claims that Frenkel's remarks were defamatory and sued Frenkel together with his employer Cisco, alleging that the company was complicit in posting the allegedly defamatory remarks.
James Holmes [for plaintiff Albritton] said his team will show that Frenkel's posts accused Albritton of a felonious "conspiracy" and were "hurtful, painful, [and] disturbing" to Albritton. Cisco, a $33 billion company, should be taught a lesson by being forced to pay punitive damages, the lawyers said.
Holmes showed e-mails exchanged between Frenkel, former Cisco patent chief Mallun Yen, and former PR man John Noh--who told his boss he liked to 'play a game' with journalists by pretending he didn't know that the Patent Troll Tracker was actually a Cisco employee.
Defense lawyers Babcock and McWilliams said Frenkel's post about the changed docket date was dead-on true, noting that no court clerk in the Eastern District could remember ever having changed a docket before. In any case, they maintain Albritton hasn't suffered any financial harm, and he has no real evidence to support his claim of "mental anguish."
Babcock also argues the defamation lawsuit is intended to gain some leverage against Cisco in ongoing patent lawsuits—and, not coincidentally, squashing Frenkel's attempt to shine a light on the murky world of patent trolls.
- Reengineer the examiner count system - "we're going to have a count system that helps everyone get to the point without requiring two or three RCEs."
- Cut pendency across the board, by allowing an applicant to select an application to advance in the queue in exchange for each application they withdraw before substantive examination.
- Focus on global worksharing—which Kappos believes "is key to helping us meet the increasing challenge of efficiently managing the USPTO's workload."
- "Our biggest challenge – Funding."
Implementing a robust IT system capable of supporting all the USPTO's operations on a 24/7 basis, and capable of facilitating full electronic patent and trademark processing.
MORE: According to the Just a Patent Examiner Blog, Kappos has started a blog. For the time being, it's only hosted on the internal USPTO servers. However, according to the blog, "we plan to make the blog available to the public in the coming weeks." Also, internal USPTO announcements indicate that a joint union and management task force will begin the work of "addressing the patent examiner count system."
Fed. Cir. Chops Back $358M Lucent Verdict; Gives Clinic on "Patent Damages Apportionment"
Microsoft appealed the lower court's findings and jury verdict of $358M against Microsoft Corp. for use of its "pop-up calendar" in Microsoft Outlook. With regard to validity, the court affirmed the lower court's finding that the patent-at-issue was not obvious. Regarding infringement, the Fed. Cir. also found Microsoft liable for indirect infringement, but noted that "Lucent's direct evidence of infringment was limited . . . [n]evertheless, [the] circumstantial evidence was just adequate to permit a jury to find that at least one other person within the United States during the relevant time period . . . had performed the claimed method."
Microsoft does not argue on appeal that any of the evidence relevant to the damages award was improperly before the jury. At times, Microsoft's briefs seem to suggest that the district court judge "abdicated" her role as a gatekeeper. The responsibility for objecting to evidence, however, remains firmly with the parties. Here, the record reveals that, at trial, Microsoft objected neither to the introduction of any of the licenses discussed below nor to the testimony of Lucent's expert as it related to those licenses. In this instance, the district court judge had no independent mandate to exclude any of that evidence.
First, no evidence of record establishes the parties' expectations about how often the patented method would be used by consumers. Second, the jury heard little factual testimony explaining how a license agreement structured as a running royalty agreement is probative of a lump-sum payment to which the parties would have agreed. Third, the license agreements for other groups of patents, invoked by Lucent, were created from events far different from a license negotiation to avoid infringement of the one patent here . . . Lucent submitted no evidence upon which a jury could reasonably conclude that Microsoft and Lucent would have estimated, at the time of the negotiation, that the patented date-picker feature would have been so frequently used or valued as to command a lump-sum payment that amounts to approximately 8% of the sale price of Outlook.
The law does not require an expert to convey all his knowledge to the jury about each license agreement in evidence, but a lump-sum damages award cannot stand solely on evidence which amounts to little more than a recitation of royalty numbers, one of which is arguably in the ballpark of the jury's award, particularly when it is doubtful that the technology of those license agreements is in any way similar to the technology being litigated here . . . In the present case, the jury had almost no testimony with which to recalculate in a meaningful way the value of any of the running royalty agreements to arrive at the lump-sum damages award.
The evidence can support only a finding that the infringing feature contained in Microsoft Outlook is but a tiny feature of one part of a much larger software program. Microsoft's expert explained that Outlook's e-mail component is "the part of Outlook that's most commonly used by our customers." . . . In short, Outlook is an enormously complex software program comprising hundreds, if not thousands or even more, features. We find it inconceivable to conclude, based on the present record, that the use of one small feature, the date-picker, constitutes a substantial portion of the value of Outlook. . . . . For these reasons, Factors 10 and 13 of Georgia-Pacific provide little support for the jury's lump-sum damages award of $357,693,056.18.
Finally, in the entire market value (EMV) analysis, the court addressed criticisms in Congress and by high technology companies about the court's use of the EMV rule, which "allows for the recovery of damages based on the value of an entire apparatus containing several features, when the feature patented constitutes the basis for customer demand." The court agreed with Microsoft that the jury improperly applied the EMV rule in this case, by using the entire revenues of Microsoft Outlook as the royalty base.
Some commentators suggest that the entire market value rule should have little role in reasonable royalty law. . . . But such general propositions ignore the realities of patent licensing and the flexibility needed in transferring intellectual property rights. The evidence of record in the present dispute illustrates the importance the entire market value may have in reasonable royalty cases. The license agreements admitted into evidence (without objection from Microsoft, we note) highlight how sophisticated parties routinely enter into license agreements that base the value of the patented inventions as a percentage of the commercial products' sales price. There is nothing inherently wrong with using the market value of the entire product, especially when there is no established market value for the infringing component or feature, so long as the multiplier accounts for the proportion of the base represented by the infringing component or feature.
Nevertheless, in light of the lack of substantial evidence supporting the original damages verdict, the Fed. Cir. remanded the case for further proceedings.
It is certainly true that patent infringement is an ongoing offense that can continue after litigation has commenced. However, when a complaint is filed, a patentee must have a good faith basis for alleging willful infringement. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8, 11(b). So a willfulness claim asserted in the original complaint must necessarily be grounded exclusively in the accused infringer's pre-filing conduct. By contrast, when an accused infringer's post-filing conduct is reckless, a patentee can move for a preliminary injunction, which generally provides an adequate remedy for combating post-filing willful infringement . . . A patentee who does not attempt to stop an accused infringer's activities in this manner should not be allowed to accrue enhanced damages based solely on the infringer's post-filing conduct. Similarly, if a patentee attempts to secure injunctive relief but fails, it is likely the infringement did not rise to the level of recklessness.
The Seagate opinion went further to state that the position on preliminary injunctions was not a per se rule, and its application would depend on the facts of each case.
Nevertheless, many defendants have latched onto this language in the district courts in an effort to get the willfulness issue "off the table" early using 12(b)(6) motions.
Affinity Labs of Texas LLC v. Alpine Electronics, No. 9:08-CV-171 (E.D. Tex., Sept. 2, 2009, order) (R. Clark).
Affinity Labs commenced their case on August 29, 2008. In its initial complaint, Affinity Labs neither made a claim of willful infringement nor requested a preliminary injunction. At a subsequent Case Management Conference, Affinity Labs confirmed that it had not, at that time, made a willfulness claim, and stated that Defendants were unaware of the asserted patent until the case was filed. A few months later, Affinity Labs amended its complaint to raise a willfulness claim for the first time. Defendants moved to dismiss Affinity Labs's claim of willful infringement on the grounds that Affinity Labs cannot base its claim entirely on Defendants' post-filing conduct without first moving for a preliminary injunction.
It would make little sense to implement a per se rule where a patentee who relies solely on post-filing conduct for his willfulness claim is foreclosed from receiving enhanced damages if he does not also seek preliminary injunctive relief. Injunctive relief is not always appropriate under the facts of a case. See eBay, Inc. v. MercExchange . . .There is little difference between the situation where the court denies a preliminary injunction and that where counsel believes a motion for a preliminary injunction would be inappropriate and opts instead not to file one after considering his or her ethical obligations under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11.3 The Seagate court explicitly declined to apply a per se rule in the first situation, and the court sees no reason why a different result is mandated in the latter situation.
Defendants do not suggest that the facts alleged by Affinity Labs in its second amended complaint do not state a claim for willfulness; they merely contend that Affinity Labs cannot raise a willfulness claim based solely on post-filing conduct without first seeking a preliminary injunction. For the reasons discussed above, the court rejects this argument. Accepting the facts pled in Affinity Labs's complaint as true, the complaint states a claim to relief that is plausible on its face. Defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim is denied.
- ACCO Brands, Inc. v. PC Guardian Anti-Theft Prods., Inc., 592 F. Supp. 2d 1208, 1227 (N.D. Cal. 2008) - court concluded that Seagate does not hold "that only conduct after the patentee files for a preliminary injunction may be considered as a basis of a willfulness claim" and denied Defendants' motion for summary judgment on willfulness.
Joff Wild from IAM Magazine attended the CIP Forum 2009 in Göteborg Sweden and provided an interesting report on a presentation given by Dan McCurdy, who is the chairman of PatentFreedom and CEO of Allied Security Trust. In his presentation, McCurdy announced the launch of a new initiative called "Integrity" which will essentially serve as an inter-partes reexam gadfly service against problematic patents owned by NPE's (aka "trolls").
PatentFreedom offers subscription-based services, priced between $15- $25K, "designed to help operating companies and their advisors more effectively assess, respond to, and ultimately reduce the specific threats posed by NPEs." Membership is open "to any operating company, law firm , or other entity that derives the majority of its revenues from the sale of products or services other than services involving the sale, enforcement, or licensing of intellectual property" (for a list of service offerings, click here).
The new "Integrity" service will be available to PatentFreedom subscribers, where each subscriber chooses which sectors they would like PatentFreedom to focus on when seeking to identify patents to challenge. Importantly (and perhaps oddly), subscribers cannot single out specific patents on their own - the PatentFreedom team will ultimately make this decision, based on subscriber portfolio assessments identifying particularly threatening and potetially vulnerable patents.
Companies can identify as many sectors as they wish, but will have to pay a minimum of $100,000 for each one they do select. McCurdy estimates that the cost of an inter partes re-examination is between $100,000 and $200,000. He told me that the idea was not only to deprive NPEs/trolls of the weapons they use to challenge operating companies, but also to sow uncertainty in the minds of their financial backers. Will investors be so willing to fund an NPE/troll if there is a chance that the patent(s) it seeks to use to generate an income will be held invalid in a USPTO process that costs a fraction of the amount needed to fight a full-scale litigation?
According to McCurdy, PatentFreedom data shows that close to 4,000 operating companies doing business in the US have now been sued by an NPE/troll. The cost of NPEs/trolls to those who they targeted in 2008 was betwen $7 billion and $10 billion. Overall, they now account for 17% of all American patent litigation, although in the technology industries that figure climbs to more than 50%, with some individual companies experiencing a hit rate of 90%. It is time, McCurdy says, to be much more aggressive in fighting the threat that NPEs/trolls pose. For example, he wondered, whether operating companies should give work with law firms that routinely represent NPEs/trolls (he showed a slide of those which do so and some big names were on the list) or employ funds that back NPEs/trolls to run things such as pension and healthcare plans. When fighting a war, he stated, you go after the fight chain. And, he said, operating companies are engaged in a war with NPEs/trolls.
Today the PTO announced that, after 35 years at the USPTO, Commissioner for Patents John Doll has intends to retire from the agency on October 2, 2009. As a result, David Kappos has nominated longtime USPTO executive Robert ("Bob") Stoll to the position of Commissioner for Patents, and has named Margaret ("Peggy") Focarino Deputy Commissioner for Patents.
It is expected that U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will appoint Stoll after Doll's retirement becomes official. The Commissioner appointment is for a term of five years.
It is not certain how Doll's retirement will affect the ongoing continuation rules litigation (Tafas v. Doll), but it certainly won't help the PTO's case at this point.
Big challenges certainly confront the global patent system: Escalating patent application backlogs; lengthening pendency periods; increasing costs of patent prosecution; dubious patent quality due to the global explosion of prior art and the time allowed to examine applications; and examination inefficiency due to duplication of work by multiple offices.
But these challenges also present unprecedented opportunity. One of the biggest is the opportunity to advance patent harmonization.
Global patent harmonization is not just wishful thinking about an ideal patent system. Rather, it is a necessity if national patent authorities are to overcome the substantial difficulties they face.
Over 3.5 million patent applications are pending around the world, including over 750,000 in the U.S. Pendency periods are extending to three, four or in some case five years before final patents are issued. The cost of this workload to patent applicants and patent offices is too high, and the delays in securing patents are too long for entrepreneurs and large enterprises alike.
In today's world of universal connectivity, global business and collaborative innovation, it is time for a world patent that is derived from a single patent application, examined and prosecuted by a single examining authority and litigated before a single judicial body.
A harmonized, global patent system would resolve many of the criticisms leveled at national patent systems over unmanageable backlogs and interminable pendency periods.
To increase efficiency and enhance patent quality, patent offices also need to leverage collaboration and work sharing opportunities. As I blogged previously, national patent offices should be commended for their early efforts at work sharing through projects such as the Patent Prosecution Highway and the "IP5"partnership.
The logical next step is to accelerate the work underway to align patent approval procedures and application formats, including a common digital application, and to collaboratively set standards for patentable subject matter, adequacy of disclosure and enablement requirements, and the completeness of the examination record. Bold action is needed. Stringent criteria must be established and clearly understood so patent search and examination results can be accepted by patent authorities around the world.
By facing the challenges, realizing a vision, overcoming political barriers, and removing procedural obstacles we can build a global patent system that will promote innovation, enrich public knowledge, encourage competition and drive economic growth and employment. The time is now – the solutions are in reach.
See the post here (link).
What is interesting here is that the call for harmonization appears to go beyond the standard administrative reforms ("it is time for a world patent that is derived from a single patent application, examined and prosecuted by a single examining authority and litigated before a single judicial body"). Such a position, particularly within the U.S., is quite unusual.
Of course, speculation abounds over the meaning of the statement, but it is worthwhile to note that the statement was probably released in anticipation of WIPO's upcoming symposion on September 17th titled "Symposium to Address Operational Deficiencies in Global IP Systems" (link). More details will follow.
Intellectual Ventures (IV) has insisted for a long while that its accumulation of patents has nothing to do with patent litigation. In fact, the company has prided itself on not filing any lawsuits, despite the claim that its patent portfolio, comprising 27,000 patents, has brought in over $1B in licensing revenue. Recently, IV was rumored to have struck a $120M patent deal with Intuit Inc., and also struck deals with companies like Cisco and Verizon for between $200M and $400M apiece.
Interestingly, no one knows the circumstances surrounding IV's licensing deals - to date, most every license is shrouded in mystery (Intuit's SEC filing stated that the company "entered into an agreement to license certain technology" for past and future licensing rights. The filing did not disclose the technology, the IP or the licensor.) Worse still, IV operates using a multitude of shell companies, making it difficult to track ownership of the patents.
Recently, IV was rumored to be engaging in "catch and release" licensing with some of its patents - after getting a particular patent or portfolio, IV gives prospective licensees a timetable to pay a set amount. After the time period expires, the patent is then sold off to anyone (read: patent plaintiff firm) that feels they can monetize the patent(s), with a "back end" payment being negotiated in favor of IV. In other words, IV has allegedly started to "outsource" their patent litigation.
Zusha Elinson from the Recorder has an excellent piece on IV's alleged foray into patent litigation, where the article covers the saga behind Picture Frame Innovations LLC who recently filed suit (see complaint here) against Kodak and CDW, seeking millions of dollars in damages. Elinson tracks the history of the patent, the inventors, owners, and even looks at the attorneys handling some of the behind-the-scenes matters to show IV's involvement, and concludes that the litigation represents "a new phase" in IV's business model.
NOTE1: An interesting factoid about the litigation is that the lead attorney for the plaintiff is none other than Ray Niro.
NOTE2: The complaint states that Picture Frame Innovations LLC is located at "125 South Wacker Drive, Suite 300 Chicago, IL 60606" - this location appears to be nothing more than a virtual office space.
NOTE3: In case anyone is looking for more information on IV and its collection of shell companies (over 362 of them in all), you can order a report from Avancept LLC that will give you all the grueling details over the span of 650+ pages.

Last weekend, I was having dinner with one of my close friends. When my dessert was served, my friend took a portion of my cake, probably as much as half of it using her fork.
Food she eats on 31 December each year. On New Year's Eve, once she has drafted a new resolution, she will then spoil herself with huge dinner buffet before the clock strikes 12. So, those food are special food without calories too.
Dripping ice cream on the cone which she occasionally help to finish when her little cousin sister does not finish it.
No calories also if she eats while she is walking. The calories intake will be expended by the walking activities.
WOW. Those are her crazy theories.
This world will be a better place if what my friend believes are all true. Do you have any of your own creative definition of "No Calories" to add?
Do not take her ideas seriously. My friend certainly is joking. Read my article of "What is a calorie" to find out more about the topic.

2019 BMW M4 Coupe Changes, Release Date, Price – The particular 2019 BMW M4 may be the change vanity in the regular 4 Series (evaluated independently), an increased-performance variation of your German high-end brand's coupe plus hardtop convertible car auto. Similar to these 4 Series, the particular M4 offers a lot of premium features plus exceptional design in and out. Nevertheless, the M4's most significant attraction is usually their stunning performance. By using a turbocharged 6-tubing engine this delivers 425 horsepower on the back end rims as well as a case which was vigorously rubbed by directly BMW's M section, this M4 coupe along with convertible car automobile present performance in addition to driving a car behavior which keep benchmarks to get competition just like the Mercedes-Benz C63, Cadillac ATS-V, Lexus RC F and also the impending Audi RS5. Starting up all around $67,000, the particular M4 even features a good substantially increased value compared to standard 4 Series.
The original M4 coupe plus convertible car automobile seem just like those from the real 4 Series. However, exclusive attributes are super easy to watch when you know the best places to appearance. Any lid comes with a strength dome which imaginable like a bicep signaling this specific performance automobile's more muscle tissue. Close to can be quad uses up retailers. While the M4's wheelbase is virtually the same as the regular 4 Series, this specific beefed-up version includes a bigger keep track of together with total posture. These M4 convertible car automobile consists of a metallic rooftop which creases, even though the M4 coupe's resolved roof is without a doubt co2-fibers-established plastic-type material, element of a good excess weight-protecting energy.
The 2019 M4 coupe together with convertible car vehicle need sitting concerning several, and also just like there a lot more well-known 4 Series sisters and brothers, the area is undoubtedly restricted from the back end. Which will likely subject very much for you to consumers of your M4, since their first concern will probably be powering these wheel? On this page, this business of considerable driving a vehicle might be highlighted, as a result of profoundly toned, 10-way strength-adaptable seating through 4-way lower back help. Your manages is definitely effectively-shock absorbing, plus many of the management tend to be instinctive. All of the no-exclusive take care of for that intelligent transmission will take quite a few turning into used to as well as it indeed is merely another explanation to acquire a stay.
Coronary heart in the 2019 M4 can be a turbocharged 3.-liter 6-hose engine which enables a significant stout 425 horsepower. Choose the Levels of a competition Package deal, and therefore result goes up that will 444 horsepower, while the 2019 BMW M4 CS federal express the particular pony add up towards 454. An important 6-rate transmission is usually common along with the advised selection for any M4 when the 7-rate two-clutch system method auto is undoubtedly recommended. Any M4 stays back end-wheel travel. Your M4 can be a ferocious comparable version for the standard 4 Series coupe together with convertible car automobile. Using 425 horsepower standard, the original 2019 M4 coupe could success 60 mph within mere several seconds, even though the M4 hardtop convertible car auto can it throughout 4.2 mere seconds. Accurate coping with and proper highway sense possess for ages been hallmarks in M autos, and this remains to be correct. Over a path it is entertaining but also in cease-and-go city driving a car, it may be a little very much, notably with the actual nonproductive commence/cease gasoline-protecting operate.
The particular 2019 BMW M4 includes a Producer's Proposed Retail industry Value (MSRP) starting up in $67,400 for the coupe, while the M4 convertible car automobile is indeed notably more challenging by virtually $75,000. Filled, a particular M4 could undoubtedly get to beyond $90,000. With most of these significant rates, these M4 remains in step with these Mercedes-Benz C63. This kind of substantial-performance German deluxe coupe coupled with convertible car automobile continues to be higher than the starting up rates of your Lexus RC F not to mention Cadillac ATS-V coupes.

admin 06.02.2019 No Commentson Bloc Party Another Weekend In The City Download
Another Weekend in the City: B-Sides & Extras From A Weekend in the City, a Bootleg of songs by Bloc Party. Released in 2007. Genres: Alternative Rock, Indie.
Review Summary: As a mish-mash of b-sides, remixes and demos it shouldn't be any surprise for you to learn that this collection doesn't deliver a coherent experience. Whether you like Bloc Party or not, it's impossible to deny the huge impact the band have had on our generation. From Silent Alarm to the horrendously underrated (at lease on this site) Intimacy, their style personified the trend of the times: seeing off the last of 90's Indie Rock and embracing electronic beats.
For myself and many others, the band acted as a gateway into the world of music beyond the radio - as a result they remain something of a fond memory: maybe not quite as good as we remember them, but a part of our musical heritage nonetheless. I still remember sitting round a table in an art classroom, with Silent Alarm playing on repeat, talking to people I'd never otherwise have spoken to if it weren't for Bloc Party (which, coincidentally, is the main factor I blame for me not getting an A*). Even now I can scroll down on iTunes to see that there are plenty of their songs in the 100+ plays zone. Another Weekend in the City is this fond memory, absolutely perfect for someone such as me to find over a year after the band broke up. The LP shows signs of songs all throughout Bloc Party's career: the energy of Silent Alarm, the brooding of A Weekend in the City and the brand new angle of, the yet to be released, Intimacy. However, here we get a side to the band which is only hinted at elsewhere.
Another Weekend is personal, takes focus away from the frankly questionable lyrics somewhat and, above all else, doesn't try to be too clever. Despite being an album of b-sides, there is no obvious drop in quality from any of Bloc Party's mid-era releases. They do, however, suffer from the same problems - mainly that most of the songs seem to have been made in a template (verse, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus) and also the aforementioned lyrics, which are often accused of being too cliche to mean anything.
Kele (vocals/guitar) does manage to pull some catchy, anthemic hooks out of the bag however, 'I will not listen and I won't be told/ England is mine I will take what I want' in England and the repeated line opener of 'When I was your age.' In Rhododendrons display him finally coming to grips with the storyteller-lyricist style. These efforts often go beyond many of the a-sides - so it becomes apparent that these songs were left off any LPs simply because they didn't fit into an album's 'theme'. Regrettably, Another Weekend is nothing if not inconsistent.
While every song on the disk is certainly listenable, with good parts to be found in all corners of the album, some songs do tend to drag a bit, or they keep returning to one central idea. In effect, there really isn't too much depth to many of the tracks. On top of this, the remixes included on the disk, 4 in total (and all of The Prayer), really aren't up to much at all. They're uninspired, often only slightly deviated from the original song and the one which is 'okay' (the one by Does It Offend You, Yeah') mirrors many songs on the rest of the album by rotating around one good idea. Sometimes, though, simple is good, and for what they're worth there are plenty songs which are interesting enough to stick around in your head.
Generic levofloxacin price Of couse it would be a great nostalgia wave to ride with an *NSYNC concert series or summer tour, but a reunion wasn''t likely for more obvious reasons. Much like Destiny''s Child with lead singer Beyonce, the pop group fell wayside to the mega success of frontman Justin Timberlake''s solo career. Gta san andreas hileleri.

GitHub recently has awarded $18,000 to a researcher after he found a bug in the GitHub Enterprise management console which could have resulted in a remote code execution flaw.
The company has patched this vulnerability by the end of January, but the news about the flaw did not surface until this week when the GitHub and a German independent pen-tester named Markus Fenske disclosed it.
GitHub Enterprise is an on-premises version of GitHub.com that can be used to deploy a GitHub service on their organisation's local network. This vulnerability is actually a combination of two bugs, Fenske told Thursday.
One main problem stems from the fact that they are using a static value to sign the Ruby on Rails session secret for the console. This secret value is supposed to be a randomly generated one per-machine value which is used to sign the cookie, not a static one.
While GitHub shouldn't have been using a static secret to sign cookies that hold session data, the other problem, Fenske says, is that session data could be serialised with Marshal. Marshal, a library that converts collections of Ruby objects into a byte stream, has a method, .load, that can return the result of converted serialised data.
By knowing this secret, any attacker could have forged a cookie, deserialized by the Marshal.load, and would have tricked GitHub into running whatever code he wanted.


A Psychic Inquiry Into The Dimensions of the Sublime.
"In My Memories, Wheels Make Melodies," an interactive bricolage of guitar and bicycle parts, allows visitors to produce looped melodies from a fixed set of notes and percussive elements. The melodic elements are constant, but, by varying speed and direction, an infinitely variable melody is possible. It is here that we are introduced to the leitmotif of this exhibition and Riederer's continuing body of work: We are empowered to create our own path. Paired with a single devotional painting of a woman entitled "Rose", we can add: love enables us to break life's fixed loops, to find beauty within the banal.
Also filling the space is the warm sound of Bing Crosby's voice, a looped vinyl record repeating the words "Only Forever" on a vintage turntable. This repeated phrase simultaneously answers and raises questions that Riederer continuously brings forth with this work. At the center of the record is a label stamped with an overhead view of a spiral staircase which, as the record spins, infinitely ascends or descends.
A "one-time refugee from punk and sometime band member," Ted Riederer has armed himself with painting supplies, electric guitars, amplifiers, old LPs, record players, drum kits, hard disk recorders, photography equipment, a vinyl record lathe, and long-stemmed roses as he's ambled artistically from the Americas to the Antipodes. His work has been shown nationally and internationally including exhibitions at PS1, Prospect 1.5, Goff and Rosenthal Berlin, Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, Jack Hanley Gallery (San Francisco), Marianne Boesky Gallery, Context Gallery (Derry, Ireland), David Winton Bell Gallery (Brown University), The University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, the Liverpool Biennial, and the Dhaka Arts Center, Bangladesh. His "Never Records" project has traveled from New York, to Liverpool, to Derry, to New Orleans, to Texas, and to London, which was sponsored by the Tate Modern.


Fantasy football WR scoring so far this season: JuJu > A.B. Mike Williams > Keenan Allen. Ridley > Julio. Will Fuller > Nuk. Robert Woods > Brandin Cooks.
Where have all the usual WR1s gone, and which of their upstart sidekicks have staying power in front of them?
If I were forced to choose one of the above tandems, I'm leaning toward Robert Woods over Brandin Cooks. Currently WR17 overall, Woods' preexisting rapport with Jared Goff is an obvious place to start, and the target advantage, albeit minor at 29-25, over Cooks at least partially reflects as much.
But Woods' 44.87 percent market share of the Rams' Air Yards, trailing only Julio Jones (57.17) and Odell Beckham (49.71) among all pass catchers, illustrates Woods isn't being used like a possession receiver, even if he's only averaging 11.7 yards per catch (compared to 31.45 and 17.7, respectively, for Cooks). Moreover, Next Gen stats reveals that Woods is creating an average of 3.4 yards of separation (Cooks is at 2.4), and though both have attracted five red-zone targets thus far — three fewer than Cooper Kupp's team-high 8 — Woods has already cashed in twice.
Cooks obviously has one elite tool in his belt unmatched by Woods — field-tilting speed — but don't be surprised when Woods continues emerging as the better bargain, not only for the Rams but fantasy owners. He should draw the more favorable matchups, such as Trae Waynes over Xavier Rhodes on Thursday, and he's been roundly praised in the building for his improvements with his hands and willingness to work in traffic, expanding his overall arsenal.
Of course, with Sean McVay's logical approach to play calling, we'll gladly take any of the top three Rams' receivers on our squad.

"Mission: Impossible" and "Ocean's 11"
Last night, MeTV aired the pilot episode of "Mission: Impossible" - and believe it or not, I've never seen it before. Like most pilots, it had some rough edges compared to the series that followed, even in the first season. On the other hand, in the case of "Mission: Impossible," those rough edges actually worked well, in that the mission did not go off as expected, requiring instead a degree of improvisation not usually seen in later episodes.
Indications of obsessive-compulsiveness about running?
A few weeks ago, I was invited to go debate another professor at his home institution in a city that's less than an hour and a half flight away. (All expenses were covered, and there was a small honorarium.) Because it was relatively close, I was able to arrange a flight schedule that departed my home city in the late morning, arrive in the mid-afternoon, take part in the debate and then the post-debate dinner, and fly home that night.
Well, that is not an opportunity to pass up! Since I was scheduled to arrive more than 90 minutes before the debate, I asked the student organizer who was handling the arrangements if it would be possible for me to sneak in a quick run. He was quite helpful and even noted that the building had a shower that I could use to clean up.
And so I ended up carrying a bigger tote bag than I otherwise would have needed for a day trip, since I had to carry a suit, formal shoes, etc. instead of just wearing that stuff on the flight.
The destination city was less temperate than the Pacific Northwest; the polar vortex was still letting its presence be known, so the outside temperature was 29 F, and there were clumps of snow still on the sidewalks. A few patches covered the entire sidewalk and were icy/slippery, demanding extra attention to footwork; other spots were dry and snow-free. And then there was the puddles of ice-water, one of which my right foot plopped right into. Saucony Kinvaras are pretty awesome shoes, but they are also very thin. Yeah, that's not good.
In the end, I managed to get in 3 miles at a good pace, showered and dressed up, debated, had a nice dinner, and made it back home at a decent hour.
ABC's "Once Upon a Time": who will be next to die?
I seem to have tweaked my foot during last week's bowling session, which is a big "d'oh" in that it's not even like I got injured while running. It's not a noticeable pain unless I happen to bend my right foot sharply, in which case I feel discomfort in the top of the ankle joint where the foot meets the lower leg.
The weird thing is that this hasn't affected my running at all, and in fact, since that bowling session, I've run 32 miles, including a really good tempo run (indeed, faster than tempo pace) and a hard set of 1/2 mile repetitions. Maybe I should get weird, minor injuries while bowling more frequently?


Without gospel music there never would have been an Elvis Presley. There never would have been a Ray Charles, or a James Brown. From the mid-twentieth century on, gospel music not only thrived within a separate sphere as vital as the jazz, rock and rhythm and blues worlds; it also constantly intersected with the secular music industry, providing models that countless artists outside the church emulated.

This is just a me-confession. It's not full of witty one-liners from my precious students, but raw self-reflection. A little insight into the first grade teacher's current mindset. A little truth to be told and shared. I feel like Jesus told me to do this.
It's as if all the duties, guilt, and shortcomings of the week passed culminate to these very moments. I reflect on how I could have done more, read more, lived more of this gospel-life I am called to live. It's always about what I didn't do, what I didn't say, what I didn't pursue, how I messed up again and again. The weight and destructiveness of my sin becomes an all-too-real topic of writing. I lack understanding of grace on these days the most and wonder how our mighty savior would ever choose me as his own.
But he has, and thus I am called. To live according to this call, to take up my cross and get over myself and look only to him for security, for comfort, and for completion. I don't know why this all continues to be a difficult thing to do, but I suppose it always will be, or I would never need God.
Just one year ago, I was packing to board a plane to take me to Belgium for a spectacular month full of experiencing God in creation, other cultures, and in myself. I was living at Kaci and Kyle Barnes's house as a nanny. I was eagerly awaiting messages and Skype dates from a boy from California. I thought I was going to work at Sky Ranch upon graduation. I was captain of a dance team, churchless, and seeking newness and a life after TCU.
Now, one year later, I am living in Fort Worth, Texas, a city I have come to love more than I thought possible. I am living with 2 girls I never imagined I'd be living with, but who I love so dearly. I'm teaching first grade in one of the best districts in the state. I am single as I've ever been. I am churched and being the church, living in a community of believers daily, finally have a "group" of friends that I've always desired, and struggling to find the balance in my crazy life. My life is one huge question mark and there are no guarantees for anything, even my teaching job. That isn't even secure, sadly enough, because of how bad the economy is getting.
I just keep wondering what He's going to do next. I have no idea what to expect but I'm trying to be ready. I want to love Him more than anything or anyone or myself. I want to serve Him and give Him all of me, everything. Help me to do that, Father. Even when I don't feel like it. Help me to do it anyway. Help me get over myself and enjoy and delight in you.
I feel numb to it, but I know that You are worthy of all my affection.
i wish you were my first grade teacher!!
Isn't it really neat to look back on all the things that have happened within the past year and see how God led us from one thing to another? I always saw Him as this great composer, or author.. carefully weaving together plot line after plot line, leading one day to a grand conclusion and eternal afterglow.
It can be so hard sometimes to see the big picture when I'm in the midst of difficult circumstances, but when I sit back and see how God got me out of the wheelchair when I broke my leg in 7th grade, then got me out of an 8th grade school where I had very few genuine friends, to getting me through high school and its stresses, and then through college with countless blessings along the way from friends that mean the world to me.. it truly causes me to worship and know that God is indeed good, and does truly care for me and my needs.
Great post-- I look forward to more!
Thanks for posting this. It's crazy how fast God moves us from one end of the spectrum to the other. I'm glad that He always knows what's going on, even when I'm clueless!

readlater is a simple self-hosted tool for saving web pages to read later with tagging, powered by ElasticSearch and Symfony 2.7.

Don't expect too much, it was primarily built to suit my personal needs. If you don't like it, consider a pull request.

**Online-Demo**:

http://dev.readlater.de

Username: test

Password: 123

# Requirements

You'll need a LAMP-/LEMP-Stack.

readlater is only supported on PHP 5.3.9 and up, but its recommended using the latest PHP 5.6 with opcache and apcu enabled.

ElasticSearch 1.5.0 and up (1.6.0 is currently not starting after a reboot on Ubuntu, use 1.5.2 instead)

MySQL 5.5 and up.

PHP5 Modules:
- apcu
- curl
- intl
- mysqlnd
- mbstring
- mcrypt
- json
- readline

**Important**: Keep in mind that ElasticSearch listens on Port 9200, you definitely want to restrict public access!

# Installation

Default-Login is demo/demo, if you don't want the demo-Account, skip the "doctrine:fixtures:load"-Command below.

```bash
# Clone
git clone git@github.com:arkste/readlater.git ./readlater

cd readlater

# Install Composer & generate Config (app/config/parameters.yml)
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

export SYMFONY_ENV=prod && php composer.phar install && php composer.phar dump-autoload --optimize

# Create Database
php app/console doctrine:database:create --env=prod

# Create Database-Schema
php app/console doctrine:schema:create --env=prod

# Create demo-User
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --env=prod --no-interaction

# Cache Warmup
php app/console cache:warmup --env=prod

# Populate ElasticSearch
php app/console fos:elastica:populate --env=prod
```

If you need help configuring your Webserver for Symfony, read this Guide:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html

# Development

readlater is built with Symfony 2.7 LTS, Bootstrap 3.3, jQuery 2.1, Grunt, Bower, Composer and LESS.

# Why ElasticSearch?

Why not? I'm a big fan of ElasticSearch and am using it wherever i can due to its fast filters and aggregations.

Thanks to ElasticSearch readlater is basically able to handle millions of bookmarks.

# Todo

- Replace the Bookmarklet-Popup with a Bookmarklet-Modal (to avoid the Popup-Blocker in Firefox)
- Add a User-Profile-Page (edit username/password)
- PHPUnit-Tests?

# Known Issues

- A deleted Bookmark will still show up after deletion for 1-2 seconds, there's a small delay until it gets deleted in the ElasticSearch-Index.
- There'll be an error page if there's no Index-Mapping in ElasticSearch, this can be fixed with adding a Bookmark (http://your_readlater_path/bookmark/add).

The Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois have created a way to raise awareness about cyber bullying by creating a film, "I Am the Music: A Rock Operetta." The Girl Scouts worked alongside the acclaimed filmmakers of Comtech Corporation to create the film that covers the tough subject.
The film includes 40 cast members, including 35 Girl Scouts, ages 7-17, from 23 cities in Northern Illinois. In addition to addressing cyber bullying, the film is also intended to promote the Girl Scout Movement.
