Though companies (like Life360) have their own suggestions and advice on how to recognize and fight against patent trolls, this is not enough. Patent trolls curb innovation and create aggravating costs, which can cost a business - especially something like a start-up - its entire foundation! So courts must get involved too...
- June 2014: the Court made it easier to challenge the validity of a vague patent.
- June 2014: the Court made it apparent that you cannot get a patent just by implementing an existing business method on a computer; this was due to the Alice Corp vs. CLS Bank trial
I like that you covered a brief history of court cases regarding patent reform. I think it would have been even better if you provided some input on what needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteOne recommendation that I have is to go a bit more in depth into each of the timeline moments in patent history.
ReplyDeleteHey Aradhana,
ReplyDeleteThis is actually my first time viewing your blog and have to say--I really like the fonts, arrangements, and style! Really appreciate your work! I like how you went through a brief background of court cases about patent reform, but your blog overall might have been better if you put more of your insights and opinion! Great job!
