Fixing the RCE Backlog Problem

February 12, 2013 by Darin Gibby

The frustration with the RCE backlog has finally gotten patent office attention.  Here’s your chance to include your comments.  http://www.uspto.gov/blog/director/entry/wanted_your_ideas_and_feedback. In think one major issue is that when you file an amendment and think you’ve clearly distinguished over the cited art, the examiner throws back a bogus 103 rejection and forces you to amend and file…

A Design Patent Doesn’t Cover a Chemical – More Half Truths on Shark Tank

February 3, 2013 by Darin Gibby

This week on Shark Tank a company called BibbiTech (http://http://www.bibbitec.com) touted their high-tec baby bib. It’s made of a neoprene rubber with a non-stain fabric.  I have to admit that the idea is a pretty good one, but the Shark’s didn’t bite.  It was way to expensive and they had no business plan. The Sharks…

Patent Term Calculator

January 25, 2013 by Darin Gibby

The patent office just posted this on their site.  You can download it to your desktop and try it out.http://www.uspto.gov/patents/law/patent_term_calculator.jsp#heading-1 .  Several years ago, we produced a similar program that works really well.  However, one word of caution. You still need to review the file history and look at the exact language in terminal disclaimers and other quirky…

Mark Cuban Goes Off On Patents

January 19, 2013 by Darin Gibby

The debate was all over the patent held by TEC (Technology Enabled Clothing). When the patent holder didn’t want to sell part of his business, but just license his patent, Mark Cuban lost it. In essence, he said that patents are a waste, they ruin a market and all they do is create uncertainty. While…

Examiner Interviews Improve Patent Quality?

January 17, 2013 by Darin Gibby

Evidently, that is true.  In a recent blog post (http://www.uspto.gov/blog/director/entry/interviews_and_patent_quality), the patent office claims that when an applicant interviews the examiner the patent quality improves. At first this surprised me.  Thinking about it a little more, however, it makes sense. When you interview a case, the examiner tends to pay more attention and so the…

Enablement/Best Mode Problems on Shark Tank

January 12, 2013 by Darin Gibby

That is essentially what the inventors of the Joulies admitted this week on Shark Tank.http://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/episode-detail/episode-414/1056608.  The basic idea behind the Joulies is to put something that looks like a small stone in your coffee to cool it down when it is too hot and to warm it up when it gets cold.  The company web…

Patent Prosecution Highway

January 6, 2013 by Darin Gibby

I had always assumed most patent applicants knew about the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) and were taking advantage of it.  Evidently not.  I just attended a patent conference where the speaker suggested that not many people are using the PPH.  The speaker indicated that the patent office wants this program to succeed.  He showed statistics…
