Changes to Practice for Petitions in Patent Applications To Make Special and for Accelerated Examination (26June2006)

USPTO To Give Patent Filers Accelerated Review Option

USPTO To Give Patent Filers Accelerated Review Option
Proposal would guarantee final decision in 12 months

The Department of Commerce’s United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is publishing procedures setting forth requirements for patent applicants who want, within 12 months, a final decision by the examiner on whether their application for a patent will be granted or denied.  To be eligible for “accelerated examination,” applicants who file under this procedure will be required to provide specific information so that review of the application can be completed rapidly and accurately.

 Jon Dudas, under secretary of commerce for intellectual property, explained the proposal by noting that “accelerated examination can provide innovators with the early certainty they may need to attract investors or protect their inventions against infringers.”

Any invention that is new, useful, non-obvious, and which is accompanied by a written description disclosing how to make and use it can be patented.   Applicants’ submissions enjoy a presumption of patentability.  Thus, to reject an application the USPTO is responsible for ensuring that any evidence indicating that the invention is not new or is obvious (known as “prior art”) is identified and explaining why the invention is not patentable in view of the evidence.

Applicants, have a duty to disclose to the USPTO relevant prior art of which they are aware.  However, applicants are not required to search for prior art. Under the USPTO’s accelerated examination procedure, applicants will be required to conduct a search of the prior art, to submit all prior art that is closest to their invention, and explain what the prior art teaches and how their invention is different.
 
In addition to providing and explaining any prior art references, applicants must explicitly state how their invention is useful and must show how the written description supports the claimed invention.  The proposal also limits the number of claims allowed in each application and shortens the time periods for responding to most USPTO communications.

The accelerated examination procedure is designed to give applicants quality patents in less time. In exchange for quick examination, patent examiners will receive more focused and detailed information about the invention and the closest prior art from the applicants.  This increased disclosure upfront by applicants will help examiners more quickly make the correct decision about whether a claimed invention deserves a patent.

USPTO to Hold Conference on Protecting Your Intellectual Property in China and the Global Marketplace -- Seattle, July 12-13

Posted by J Matthew Buchanan at June 13, 2006 03:46 PM

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is sponsoring a two-day, free program on "China's Impact on Intellectual Property: Protecting Your Intellectual Property in China and the Global Marketplace.” The two day event will be held on July 12-13 at the Grand Hyatt Seattle.

Topics to be covered at the conference include China’s laws and regulations that may affect how a business protects and enforces its intellectual property, how best to protect business assets to avoid intellectual property problems in the first place, how to recognize when an intellectual property asset has been infringed, what to do if infringement occurs, and what the U.S. government is doing to improve the intellectual property protection and enforcement environment in China.

Companies of any size, from those contemplating entering the China market to those with an established presence in the country should be particularly interested in attending the conference. In addition,those who simply want to know more about protecting themselves against IP theft from abroad will also find the sessions very helpful.

This program is part of the USPTO’s continuing commitment to increase public awareness of intellectual property rights and the enforcement of these rights in the global marketplace.

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

USPTO to Hold Conference on Intellectual Property in the Global Marketplace in Nashville July 18

 

The United States Patent and Trademark Office will present a one-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 Tuesday, July 18 at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt.  The session will run from 8:30am to 5:00pm.

Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Steve Pinkos will deliver opening remarks on Tuesday at 8:30am.

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.

Introducing: Trademark Lawsuit Mojo

Posted by Stephen M. Nipper at June 12, 2006 11:06 PM

Starting July 3, 2006 (approximately three weeks from now), RSSMojo: Trademark Lawsuit Filing Update will be changing in frequency from weekly to monthly. To continue receiving this service on a monthly basis you will need to do nothing.

In conjunction with this change, we have started a weekly subscription based e-mail newsletter tentatively entitled Trademark Lawsuit Mojo that contains the same trademark lawsuit filing information previously provided weekly at RSSMojo: Trademark Lawsuit Filing Update.

If you would like to continue receiving these updates weekly, you will need to subscribe to Trademark Lawsuit Mojo using one of the below links. Current rates are $99.99 a year or $9.99 a month. The first three weeks are free (free trial). After the free trial expires you can decide whether you would like to continue your subscription.

We don’t expect any of us will be quitting our day jobs anytime soon … commercialization of this project (and eventually the Copyright and Patent feeds) is done to fund the “Rethink(IP) Projects Account” and let us provide additional cool tools and services to the legal community. Apparently computer programmers don’t work for free.

Again, to continue receiving the monthly RSSMojo: Trademark Lawsuit Filing Update after July 3, you will need to do nothing. You only need to subscribe to the new service if you want to keep getting the information weekly.

[NOTE: Trademark Lawsuit Mojo is closed to new subscribers for the time being. Thank you for your interest]

USPTO Program in China Underscores Importance of Protecting Geographical Indications and Trademarks (02JUN2006)

Posted by J Matthew Buchanan at June 5, 2006 09:10 PM

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the China Trademark Office (CTMO) completed a successful weeklong program in China last week on “geographical indications” (GIs). The program was presented in Beijing and in Xiamen.

“Geographical indications” identify a good as originating in the territory of a World Trade Organization (WTO) member, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographic origin. Examples of geographical indications from the United States include: "FLORIDA" for oranges; "IDAHO" for potatoes; "VIDALIA" for onions; and "WASHINGTON STATE" for apples.

The China program focused on protection of geographical indications through use of a trademark system. Like the United States, China protects geographical indications through a trademark system, administered by the CTMO. However, China has a second system for protecting geographical indications, administered through a separate government agency, which has led to confusion over protection of geographical indications and trademarks.

“The USPTO-CTMO geographical indications program represents a significant effort on behalf of each office to understand our respective systems for the protection of trademarks and geographical indications,” noted Jon Dudas, the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. “Better mutual understanding will lead to certainty and confidence in the protection afforded to trademarks and geographical indications.”

Representatives of the Idaho Potato Commission and the Florida Department of Citrus, the owners of U.S. certification marks (a type of U.S. trademark) “Idaho Potatoes” and “Florida Citrus,” respectively, joined the U.S. delegation. A representative of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. also accompanied the U.S. delegation to discuss the challenges in enforcing a pre-existing mark against a subsequent GI. The program featured a presentation by a representative of IP Australia, who discussed Australia’s experience in protecting GIs through a trademark approach.
