Alexandria Town Hall Meeting Focuses on Improvements to Patent Review Process

Washington, D.C. — The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today held a town hall meeting to engage the public and learn their views on USPTO's proposals intended to streamline the application review process. A four-person panel representing a spectrum of organizations with interests in the patent system offered their views on the proposals which are designed to ensure high quality patent examination and work toward decreasing the backlog of pending applications.

Suzanne Michel, Federal Trade Commission; Jay Thomas, Georgetown Law School; Charles Van Horn, American Intellectual Property Law Association; and Herbert C. Wamsley, Intellectual Property Owners Association shared their views on the proposals with a group of over 100 patent attorneys, patent agents, independent inventors and members of the small business community.

“The USPTO clearly has a responsibility to do everything it can to improve America's patent system. That is why we are undertaking this collaborative approach – putting forth quality and efficiency proposals for the patent community to give us feedback,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Jon Dudas. “Applicants and the public deserve certainty. This focus on quality of applications and closure of the examination process will provide more certainty. Everyone agrees that better quality input will result in a better quality end product.”

In FY 2004, nearly one-third of the 355,000 new patent applications were resubmitted by applicants hoping to change the agency's decision. Also, over 40 percent of new applications in FY 2004 had more than 20 claims. Thus, the USPTO has published for comment proposed initiatives to restrict rework on old applications and limit the number of claims the USPTO will initially examine for each invention.

The proposed rules can be found at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/71fr48.pdf and http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/71fr61.pdf. PDF viewer is required for these documents.

Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) to Keynote USPTO IP Conference

Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) to Keynote USPTO IP Conference
Columbus, OH - May 15-16

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will present a two-day conference on intellectual property basics for small and medium size businesses, entrepreneurs and independent inventors and will provide information on the new realities of intellectual property counterfeiting and piracy in the global marketplace.

The conference will be held May 15-16 at the Hyatt Capital Square in Columbus, Ohio. The sessions run both days from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Deputy Under Secretary for Intellectual Property Steve Pinkos will deliver opening remarks for the conference on Monday morning. Senator George Voinovich will deliver a keynote address at a luncheon later that day.

The conference is a component of USPTO’s small business campaign and is a part of the federal government’s Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP) and the USPTO’s continuing effort to increase public awareness about intellectual property and the enforcement of those rights in the global marketplace.

The conference is free, but seating is limited. Register now.

More on the $26 Million consumer redress decision against the Davison & Associates invention promotion operation

Posted by J Matthew Buchanan at April 20, 2006 02:23 PM

Court Halts Bogus Invention Promotion Claims
Orders $26 Million in Redress For Consumers; USPTO’s Director Jon Dudas Praises Court Decision

A U.S. district court judge has ordered an invention promotion operation to pay $26 million in consumer redress and has ordered a permanent halt to the bogus claims the company used to recruit customers. The court also ordered that in future dealings with consumers, the company make specific, detailed disclosures about their track record in helping inventors market their ideas. “This affirmative disclosure statement is needed due to defendants’ blatant, varied, and repeated misrepresentations . . . ” Judge Gary L. Lancaster of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania wrote in his decision.

“This outfit is typical of invention promotion scams,” said Lydia Parnes, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “They touted their ability to turn inventors’ ideas into profitable products, but fewer than one percent of the customers who invested in their services got royalties from their patents that amounted to more than they paid the promoters.”

In a complaint filed by the FTC as part of “Project Mousetrap,” the agency charged that the company used Internet ads and classified ads to lure inventors across the country to sign up for their services. The agency charged that they made false claims about their selectivity in choosing products to promote, false claims about their track record in turning inventions into profitable products, and false claims about the relationship they had with manufacturers. They deceptively claimed that their income came from sharing royalties with inventors rather than from the $800 to $12,000 fees they charged inventors.

Jon Dudas, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property commented, “Judge Lancaster’s decision sends a strong signal to all those invention promotion and licensing firms that prey upon America’s independent inventor community that fraudulent and unscrupulous practices will not be tolerated.”

The agency alleged that the defendants made false and misleading statements that:

• Consumers who bought their invention-promotion services stand a reasonably good chance of realizing financial gain.

• Their invention-promotion services helped many of their customers' invention ideas become profitable products.

• Their invention-promotion services helped specific inventions become profitable products.

• That they have a vast network of corporations with whom they have ongoing relationships and regularly negotiate successful licensing agreements.

• That their invention marketing services are necessary for consumers to license their invention ideas.

• That they prepare objective and expert analyses of the patentability and marketability of consumers' invention ideas.

Judge Lancaster agreed that the company had engaged in deceptive practices, noting that even after he had issued an order barring deceptive claims, “defendants continued to engage in deceptive practices, albeit in slightly different forms. Based on this past pattern of conduct, there is a very real danger that defendants will alter their business again, yet continue to engage in wrongdoing.”

To prevent those practices, he ordered the company and its principals to pay $26 million for consumer redress and to provide any future clients with a 10-point disclosure statement to allow them objectively to measure the value of the defendants’ assistance. He ordered that when they highlight or advertise specific consumer products or ideas in advertising, they disclose whether the inventor earned royalties that exceeded the total amount of fees paid by the consumer to the defendants. If the defendants claim that they have “matched” or “targeted” an invention to a corporation, they must disclose how many submissions they have made to that corporation in the past five years and the number of licenses entered into with the corporation over the past five years. He required them to disclose that the “Pre-Inventegration” and “modeling” services they sold to inventors were not necessary to achieve licensing agreements and that they disclose that they are not providing consumers with objective or expert opinion of marketability or potential commercial success.

The court also established record keeping provisions to allow the FTC to monitor compliance with Judge Lancaster’s order.

Defendants in this case were Davison & Associates Inc., now known as Davison Design and Development, Inc., Manufacturer's Support Services, Inc., George M. Davison, President and CEO, Thomas Dowler, Gordon M. Davison and Barbara Miele-Davison. The defendants are based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but have operated nationwide.

Copies of the FTC complaint, and the courts Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law and the Order for Permanent Injunction are available from the FTC's Web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish (bilingual counselors are available to take complaints), or to get free information on any of 150 consumer topics, call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357), or use the complaint form at http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/complaint.htm. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to thousands of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Semiconductor Customer Partnership Meeting

A Semiconductor Customer Partnership meeting will be held on Tuesday April 25, 2006 at the Alexandria headquarters of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Established in June 1999, the Semiconductor Customer Partnership provides a forum for the continued exchange of ideas toward improving the quality and timeliness of the examination process in semiconductor technology. The partnership also provides members of the semiconductor community with an opportunity to learn about recent business process improvements and policy changes that have occurred at the USPTO. Partnership meetings are held biannually in the Washington DC and San Francisco Bay areas.

The partnership meeting is open to anyone interested in the intellectual property issues facing the semiconductor industry. Presenters for this meeting include managers from the Semiconductor work group in Technology Center 2800, which is responsible for examining patent applications filed in Semiconductor Devices, Processing of Semiconductor Devices, Digital Logic Circuits, Solid State Electronic Circuits, Memory Circuits and Devices, Analog Circuits and Devices, and Design and Analysis of Semiconductor circuits and Masks. The semiconductor workgroup is one of the largest in the patent operation with 18 art units and over 300 examiners.

The agenda will include presentations on:

Training Program for New Examiners
State of the Semiconductor Workgroup
State of the Semiconductor Industry
Proposed new rules package
Working with Examiners in the Hoteling Environment
Prosecution issues in the Semiconductor Workgroup
Classification Harmonization with USPTO, EPO and JPO

In addition, there will be sessions devoted to customer presentations and a roundtable discussion in the afternoon.

Date and Location:

The Partnership meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 25, 2006, from 9:00 AM–4:00 PM in the Jefferson Conference Center at the USPTO headquarters. The Conference center is located at the lobby level of Jefferson Building, 500 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia.

If you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact Tom Thomas at 571-272-1664 or by e-mail to tom.thomas@uspto.gov.

---

Note: The Semiconductor Customer Partnership is designed and developed to be a forum to share ideas, experiences, and insights between individual users and the USPTO. The USPTO does not intend to use these customer partnership groups to arrive at any consensus. Invitations to participate will indicate that individual opinions are sought, rather than a group consensus and that the meetings are intended to be informal in nature and have varying participants. These customer partnership groups are formed with full recognition of the USPTO’s responsibility under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), and that these customer partnership groups are not established as FACA compliant committees.
