The BBC has a wonderful video of a “patent burning” outside
the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Who is burning patents? American
inventors who are protesting the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), once
called the, “Patent Death Squad,” by former Chief Judge Randall Rader. The inventors are upset that the PTAB is killing
the American Dream and are making an appeal to President Trump to overturn the
Obama Administration’s creation. (Yes,
it is the PTAB not skyrocketing home ownership costs that is ruining the American
dream. I guess that bubble will pass as well.)
This is a nice angle to take since getting the U.S. Supreme
Court to overturn itself is much more difficult. I wonder
how attempts to overturn Alice legislatively are doing in Congress.
