Patent management

The Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI) is a body of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which decides issues of patentability. If an applicant for an invention cannot convince a patent examiner that they are entitled to their claims, then the applicant can appeal the examiner’s decision to the board. Decisions of the board can be further appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) or to a district court under 35 U.S.C. 145. The decisions of the CAFC can be further appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court has the final word on the judicial standards for patentability.

The United States Congress, however, can change laws and thus override a decision of the United States Supreme Court.

The procedure for appealing an examiner’s decision to the board of appeals is described in section 1200 of the U.S. Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) [1].

As of 2006, the Chief Administrative Patent Judge is Michael R. Fleming. The Vice Chief Administrative Patent Judge is Gary V. Harkcom.

In Vodun, Kalfou or Carrefour (literally crossroads) is the Petro manifestation of Papa Legba and can be quite dangerous, whereas Legba, his kinder Rada counterpart, is associated with the sun, Kalfou is regarded as a lwa of the moon.

Kalfu also controls the crossroads. Not unlike Hecate in Greek religion and myth, Kalfu controls the evil forces of the spirit world. He allows the crossing of bad luck, deliberate destruction, misfortune, injustice.

Kalfu controls the in-between points of the crossroads, the off-center points. Legba controls the positive spirits of the day; Kalfu controls the malevolent spirits of the night.

When Kalfu mounts a person everyone at the service stops speaking because he allows evil loa to come to the ceremony. He claims that most of the important loa know him and he collaborates with them. Kalfu says that some people claim he is a demon but he denies this. A respected loa though he is not liked much, he is the grand master of charms and sorceries and is closely associated with black magic.

The Patent Busting Project is an EFF initiative launched April 19, 2004 to challenge patents that the EFF claim are illegitimate and suppress innovation or limit online expression. The initiative involves two phases: documenting the damage caused by these patents, and submitting challenges to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The EFF’s basic assumption is that many such patents are invalid due to prior art which has historically been difficult to document in software and internet fields. (It is worthy to note that many patent owners file patents to cover seemingly trivial concepts without any intention of enforcing the patents, but rather to use as part of a larger patent portfolio in their own defense against potential future patent lawsuits.)

Status

The effort began with a “patent busting contest” where the public was encouraged to submit proposals of the worst offenders. Of these, EFF chose the top “10 Most Wanted” list of patents based on patent viability, whether the patent owners intend to enforce these patents, and how much of a threat they are to potential infringers.

As of April 29 2006, EFF has announced formal challenges to two of the listed patents: Test.com’s patent on administering online tests [1], and Clear Channel’s patent on recording and distributing CDs of live shows [2].

On July 6, 2007 The United States Patent and Trademark Office denied the EFF’s request for the reexamination of NeoMedia’s patent #6,199,048.

Ten Most-wanted Patents

• Acacia Research: Audio and video receiving and transmission system
• Clear Channel Entertainment: System and method of creating digital recordings of live performances
• Acceris: Method and apparatus for implementing a computer network/internet telephone system
• Sheldon F. Goldberg: System and method for playing games on a network
• Ideaflood: System apparatus and method for hosting and assigning domain names on a wide area network
• Neomedia Technologies: System and method for automatic access of a remote computer over a network
• Test.com: Method for administering tests, lessons, assessments
• Nintendo: Software implementation of a handheld videogame hardware platform
• Firepond: System that uses natural language processing to respond to customers’ online inquiries by email
• Seer Systems: System and method for generating, distributing, storing and performing musical work files

In United States patent law, a petition to make special (PTMS) is a formal request submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) asking that a patent application be examined ahead of the other pending applications in the same technological art.

Background and rationale

Normally patent applications in a given technological art are examined in the order that they are filed in under the “first come, first served” principle. The patent office has realized, however, that some inventions deserve special attention and that patent applications covering these inventions should be examined as quickly as possible. If an invention falls into one of the special categories, the applicant (e.g. inventor) can petition to have it examined early.

A petition to make special can be granted because:

• the patent will enable manufacture of the invention,

• the patent is being infringed,

• one of the inventors is over the age of 65 or is ill to the point where they may not be available to assist in the prosecution of the patent,

• the head of a government agency requests that the application be made special,

• the patent relates to certain areas including superconductivity, cancer, HIV/AIDS, and terrorism,

• the applicant wishes to take part in accelerated examination as described below, or

• several other reasons.”708.02 Petition To Make Special”, Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), Eighth Edition, August 2001, Latest Revision August 2006

Accelerated examination

Effective in August 2006, the USPTO introduced an accelerated patent examination procedure in an effort to allow inventors a speedy evaluation of an application with a final disposition within 12 months. The procedure requires additional information to be submitted with the application and also includes an interview with the examiner.USPTO Accelerated Patent Examination The first accelerated patent was granted on March 15, 2007 with a 6 month issuance time.Press Release: USPTO GRANTS FIRST PATENT UNDER NEW ACCELERATED REVIEW OPTION

Petitions to make special and business methods

Petitions to make special are particularly important for timely examination of business method patents. Projected delays in examination of business method patents range from 4 to 14 years. http://weblog.ipcentral.info/archives/2006/06/rip_van_winkle.html This is primarily due to the step change in business method filings after the 1998 State Street Bank decision combined with the difficulty in hiring and training qualified patent examiners in the financial services arts. (e.g. insurance, banking, etc.)

It is reported http://www.marketsandpatents.com/IPB-06152006.html that a PTMS for Accelerated Examination can cut the time to get a patent to issue in the business method area from more than 5 years to less than 2. First office actions can issue in as little as 6 months from the filing date of the application and notices of allowable subject matter have issued in just over a year.

The Zambian presidential election was held on 27 December 2001. Parliamentary elections were held on the same day. There were eleven candidates.

In August 2000 the National Executive Committee of MMD had elected Mwanawasa as its presidential candidate for the election. He won the election with only 29% due to Zambia’s first past the post system, beating 10 other candidates including two other former vice presidents (Godfrey Miyanda and Gen. Christon Tembo); Anderson Mazoka came in a close second with 27%, according to official results. The results of the elections were disputed by main opposition parties, including Mazoka’s United Party for National Development, which many observers claim had actually won the elections.Zambia’s Fourth Democratic Elections: A Country of Minority Governments–By Tiens Kahenya, UPND Secretary General Both domestic and international election monitors cited serious irregularities with the campaign and election, including vote rigging, flawed voter registration, unequal and biased media coverage, and the MMD’s improper use of state resources. In January 2002, three opposition candidates petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn Mwanawasa’s victory. While the court agreed that the poll was flawed, it ruled in February 2005 that the irregularities did not affect the results and declined the petition.[http://www.freedomhouse.org/inc/content/pubs/fiw/inc_country_detail.cfm?year=2006&country=7091&pf Freedom in the World - Zambia (2006)

Control logic is the part of a software architecture that controls what the program will do. This part of the program is also called the controller. Before the instruction reaches the control logic it is translated into binary through an instruction decoder or “decode unit”.

A major input to the control logic is a clock signal which controls all the microprocessor’s timing.

Probatio diabolica (Latin: “devil’s proof”) is a legal requirement to achieve an impossible proof. Where a legal system would appear to require an impossible proof, the remedies are reversing the burden of proof, or giving additional rights to the individual facing the probatio diabolica.

For example, one party might patent a process for manufacturing an item. Another party might then make the item. The patent holder would normally have to show that the patented process had been improperly used; this is a probatio diabolica since on the face of it the patent holder has no information on what process was actually used, and this could render the patent useless. Two possible solutions exist:

• the burden of proof is reversed by presuming that the second manufacturer has improperly used the patented process, unless or until he demonstrates that he has used some other process; or
• the patent holder is given discovery rights, enabling him to get information from the second manufacturer on the process actually used.

A patent classification is a way the examiners of patent offices or other people arrange documents, such as patent applications, disclosing inventions according to the technical features of the inventions. They arrange documents using a patent classification so that they can quickly find a document disclosing the invention identical or similar to the invention for which a patent is claimed. The same document may be classified in several classes.

A patent classification is fixed under an agreement among people, otherwise it is useless. The International Patent Classification (IPC) is agreed internationally. The United States Patent Classification (USPC) is fixed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The European Classification (ECLA) is based on the IPC but adapted by the European Patent Office to its own requirements. The Derwent classification system is fixed by an enterprise.
