Against S.23
To Senator Menendez:
I urge you to vote AGAINST S.23, the Intellectual Property Jurisdiction Clarification Act of 2011 .
The "first inventor to file" provision is against the interests of small inventors and of academic inventors.
The "post grant review" provision is also against the interests of small inventors and of academic inventors, and is separately contrary to the basic teachings on quality of Deming. If there is a problem in the "quality" of some issued patents, the proper remedy is to correct the examination procedure, not to add an inspection step. The diversion of money from the USPTO to the general fund, which cripples the patent examination process, should stop.
