Does the Patent System Need an Overhaul?

Two professors argue that seemingly innocuous reforms have caused a shift away from encouraging innovation in favor of exploiting patents largely for lawsuits.

A Plan To Fix The Patent System

A Plan To Fix The Patent System 07/12/2004 04:24 AM
The more people look at our existing patent system, the more screwed up they realize it is. Now, two economists are coming out with a new book that not only discusses how bad our patent system is, but also proposes a way to fix it (thanks to John for submitting the link). The book is called < i>Innovation and Its Discontents : How Our Broken Patent System is Endangering Innovation and Progress, and What to Do About It and sounds quite interesting. Their proposal, it appears, is just to make the patent process much more open, allowing outsiders to contest a patent much more easily. The plan is to actually have most patent applications reviewed less carefully, while letting anyone point out problems with specific patents that would require a more serious review by patent examiners. The system would also make it easier to contest a patent that had already been approved. Of course, the risk with such a system is that they're basically outsourcing the patent review process to, well, anyone with enough time to watch over the patent process. Though, this could create a new breed of patent researchers whose only job is to review the patents being reviewed to see if they can or should be contested. As an aside, the article notes that in the nineteenth century the Netherlands outlawed patents, after they realized they were simply granting too many patents, causing too many problems. What the article leaves out is that during this time in the Netherlands and in Switzerland (which similarly, did not have patents during that period) innovati on and business thrived, helping both economies grow, while opening opportunities for some new businesses. For more info on how successful those nations were in making use of the lack of patents to help their industrial growth, see < i>Industrialization without national patents: the Netherlands, 1869-1912; Switzerland, 1850-1907.

More Calls To Reform The Patent System

More Calls To Reform The Patent System 12/11/2003 02:30 PM
Earlier today we posted an article about how copyr ight law was harming, not helping, innovation. To go with that, how about an article from the Washington Post about how the patent system is harming, not helping, innovation. While the first article looked at DMCA smack-down suits, this one looks at all of the little patent shops that buy up ridiculous patents, don't actually build anything, wait for someone else (completely independently) to build something similar, and then sue them. It also looks at big companies who patent thousands of ideas every year, and then threaten any small company that might compete with them to "license our patents or else." The article mentions that many are hopeful that the resigna tion of the current USPTO directer will encourage real reform (despite all the praise he's receiving for being a "reformer"). From the quotes from the incoming director, though, I wouldn't hold my breath. In response to an FTC report that loudly questions the current patent system, the new USPTO director basically says that his hands are tied by treaty agreements the US has. He is happy, however, that the FTC suggests the patent office gets more money. Big surprise there. The money will go to more patent examiners, which just means that bad patents will get approved that much faster. What's needed is a real rethinking of the process. If the point of patents is to encourage innovation, we need to see if that's really happening or (if as appears in many cases) it's really just legalized extortion.
