James Edwards on patent reform

Within the piece was criticism of Director Kappos:

Obama administration Patent and Trademark Office Director David Kappos cut short his appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on this subject, stiffing lawmakers who had more questions. The former IBM executive had to fly off to Europe.

Kappos gave a speech in London on patent harmonization. The patent office director reportedly disparaged the American patent system. He said it was “bizarre” that this country is stuck with what he called a 19th century model.
