Will patent law be reformed?
Microsoft is the latest of the parties putting forth a proposal to reform patent law to better meet software needs . . . at least that is what they say. Interesting aspects: change to harmonize with the rest of the world by adopting first to file instead of first to invent; allow prior art submission by third parties during prosectuion; keep fees for small/independent inventors very low; and establish a central court to hear patent cases. Curious to consider, but I'm jaded. I wonder what it will take to reform patent law.
