Judd & Columbia

Judd, the nominee for Department of Commerce Secretary, tried to extend Columbia University's patents by attaching an amendment to an existing bill. If this is the extent of his experience with intellectual property, the USPTO & new rules could be interesting if he is confirmed. Patent reform & modified administrative rules seem to be tabled for now. . but will they be back after the economic crisis has been managed by Congress?
