Sieze the Day: Take your patent allowance!
A couple of couple of weeks ago, I wrote a detailed post about how the US Patent Office seems to be in a deal-making mood. Today, Dennis Crouch of Patently-O posted data that demonstrates that in the last weeks, the Patent Office has issued more patents than in any 2 week period in history! We don’t know how long this will last. I highly recommend that anyone who has been waiting for a patent to issue get the patent examiner on the phone as soon as possible to see how the case can be passed to allowance. Not all patent applications will be allowable, of course, but many will be, as shown by the actual data and anecodotal information from patent bloggers like Dennis Crouch and myself. CARPE DIEM!
Who needs patent reform legislation, when we have David Kappos helming the USPTO? His assiduous and savvy efforts at tightening up operations at the USPTO seem to be paying off. Kudos.
