Solutions for a Better Patent System

Send us a text

Ways to make a better patent system is a common theme at IPWatchdog, and we are going to get more seriously involved in that discussion over the next year as we try to bring thought leaders together for high-level, substantive conversations. And this conversation is the opening salvo in that effort. 

 Our panel really needs no introduction. All the members joining us this week are members of the IPWatchdog Hall of Fame. We start with Bob Stoll, is a former Commissioner for Patents at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and among other things he is an expert witness. We are also joined by retired Chief Judge Paul Michel Hall of United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The final member of the panel is Judge Pauline Newman, Circuit Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. 

 The premise of the conversation is to identify solutions for a better patent system that would improve the current state of the system without empowering bad actors, such as patent trolls. I begin the conversation offering each of the panelists an open mic to start so they can set forth their preliminary thoughts. The conversation then evolves from there.
