Nowhere. I went all-in here. Sorry, ooops, and maybe bye.

Glad this site’s immolation finally reached some hard IP discourse after burning through the soft brand and TM matters

Looking forward to the @AIPLA Annual Meeting ...next week! 💡 Really hoping our mild DC weather forecast holds! 🍂🌤🤞🏻
Please let's meet up - or at least say hellos - if we cross paths! #aiplaAM22
#aiplaAM22 is ONE WEEK AWAY! There's still time to register: aipla.org/home/meetings-educ…
Don't miss out on the IP #event of the year! Cutting-edge #CLE, #networking, #celebration, and more!
My position is unchanged.
I'm hopeful the current round of debate on requirements to practice before the USPTO actually results in change.
My 2¢: the "scientific" degree/course req for practice before the @USPTO should go.
If anything, reg exam should just include more ?s testing ability to apply patent frameworks that require general sci/tech reasoning.

PATENTS, please be careful this Halloween! Many reports of unclaimed, limiting language hidden deep inside specifications this year.
"EPO as International Searching Authority – fee decrease from $1,946 to $1,816"

Hope the SG does not take another year to brief Interactive. Should be able to reuse a lot of their American Axel brief 😉
Also an opportunity to address CAFC’s Rule 36? 🤞(but probably not)
S. Ct. denied Cert. this a.m. in 10 pat. cases but CVSG in two: skinny label Teva case and (surprise!) Interactive Wearables Alice case. And several more relisted for later conference. supremecourt.gov/orders/cour…

US Patent system is anti-inflationary!
It, uh, reduces monetary supply (?) while providing a, um, non-scarce product and ...offsets ...deficit ...spending. Yes, fewer dollars chasing more goods. Maybe? I dunno.
FILE MORE PATENTS
It's very simple:
Every policy I disagree with causes inflation, every policy I agree with reduces inflation.

Losing track of all the new US patent legislation introduced this summer?
I am.😵💫So I made a list: /1
-Tillis 101 Bill “to address matters relating to patent subject matter eligibility”
Text: jdsupra.com/legalnews/senato…
This is the most recent and talked-about piece of legislation. Although most reception has been warm-ish, I think this bill is …not great. /2

Noticed this chestnut in the Manchin permitting deal framework. Circuit panels are already random right? So maybe this means District court judges?
...Right in line with recent WDTX order for patent cases?

Relieved to see no IP changes snuck into the Manchin/Schumer #InflationReductionAct text.
(only mention of "patent" is as a factor in drug pricing negotiation)
