Here is an interesting post from Law.Com, an ALM company, about the thriving business of NPE suits, usually filed against multiple defendants, and the ability of those defendants to turn to patent and IP litigation boutiques for representation. Please visit the Law.Com site for more details.

Jerold I. Schneider
West Palm Beach Partner Jerold I. Schneider wrote an article entitled “America invests, but who benefits from new patent law?” for the Intellectual Property Special Report appearing in the October 11 issue of the Daily Business Review. In his article, Mr. Schneider outlines how the America Invents Act now allows profits to go to the first to file for a patent rather than the first to invent the idea. Now, someone who files for a patent is protected from legal action from… [read post]

As James Madison stated in Federalist Paper No. 43, the usefulness of the Congresses power to award both patents and copyrights “will scarcely be questioned.” Madison, Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787, at 512-13 (Hunt and Scott ed. 1920). Given that today’s business world is increasingly based on a company’s ability to innovate and acquire intangible assets in the form of both copyrights and patents, it would appear as if the constitutional goal of stimulating creativity and… [read post]

Earlier this year Intellectual Property Today announced its annual Top Patent Law Firms for 2011. Just recently they also announced the Top Trademark Firms for 2011. I thought it might also be interesting to see which firms were mentioned on both lists. In fact, there were 11 law firms that appeared on both the Top Patent Law Firms List and on the Top Trademark Law Firms List. [read post]

Therefore, no one should read this decision as stating a general rule that patent infringement is covered under "advertising injury" provisions in a typical insurance contract. Rather, the decision should be read as saying that it is possible, based on these peculiar facts, that coverage could exists for this particular patent infringement claim under the advertising injury provisions. Essentially, reaching this determination on summary judgment without full consideration was deemed inappropriate. [read post]

On January 28, 2011, the recently retired Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, John Broderick, became the Dean and President of the University of New Hampshire School of Law. The new UNH School of Law is the law school formerly known as Franklin Pierce Law Center, renowned around the world for its intellectual property program. On January 31, 2011, I had the opportunity to chat with Chief Justice Broderick, who prefers to go by his first name these days. [read post]

In a bit of a twist this year, the party nominating the National Inventor of the Year will also be recognized. Most nominations come from patent attorneys, so this is a great way for the IPO to recognize the team behind the inventor, as well as honoring the inventor. The nomination deadline is June 1, 2011, so now is your chance attorneys and agents to nominate those inventors you work with for their innovative contributions. I can’t think of a more worthwhile endeavor for our industry than to… [read post]

There is much to write about the event, but I will start my week long coverage with an overview of the event. As the week progresses I will delve into some interesting substantive discussions that took place over this Intellectual Property weekend in the Granite State, including: (1) Chief Judge Rader tell me during the Judges' panel: "You aren't making any sense..."; (2) Chief Judge Rader daring anyone to come up with proof that the Supreme Court's decision in KSR did anything to change previous… [read post]

Criminals are finding that the penalties for intellectual property crimes pale in comparison to the penalties they would receive for trafficking drugs and engaging in other illicit activities. At the same time, the profit margin for counterfeit software is extremely high. So the combination of great riches, relatively low penalties and a low likelihood of being caught and you can see why criminal enterprises, including terrorist networks, are becoming major players in the counterfeit software… [read post]

Did World Intellectual Property Day sneak up on you again this year? How could you let that happen? At a time when the United States Congress seems hell bent on destroying the patent system by inadequately funding the United States Patent and Trademark Office we really should celebrate something that seems to be functioning, so why not celebrate the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the innovation policies of nations who are stealing research and development away from the United… [read post]

Many clients are unaware that the commercial general liability insurance (CGL) policy they hold is not fully protecting their most valuable assets, the ability to sell their products. And, most IP attorneys do not know that IP insurance is available to help fund their client’s IP litigation risks. If a client's IP becomes involved in litigation, specialized IP Insurance products will help ensure that there are funds available to pay the associated legal expenses. Without specific IP Insurance in… [read post]

Julia Child is a name that's well known in culinary circles. But, culinary prowess aside, her name is also synonymous with business success. Child is so well known that the very use of her name could be considered an infringement on intellectual property rights. The maker of Thermador ovens has filed a lawsuit fighting for its right to use Child's name. The case was recently transferred to California because of related lawsuits pending in the state.
Purportedly, BSH Home Appliances Corporation (the… [read post]

The trend of rejecting patent applications, made by multinational pharma companies, continues at the Indian Patent Office. As reported here and here, the Indian patent authorities have rejected Abbot’s patent application for its HIV drug, sold under the brand name “Kaletra”. The rejection came in light of oppositions filed by third parties, including Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge (I-MAK), a group of lawyers and scientists dedicated to increasing access to affordable… [read post]
