Holt still clueless on patent reform
Mytheos Holt has another post on patent reform titled: The Fight Against Patent Trolls Is About Principle: link: http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/24/the-fight-against-patent-trolls-is-about-principle/#ixzz3gqkI5lHN
He suggests that patent reform was bipartisan. He omits that the opposition to patent reform is also bipartisan.
Holt writes:
That it is breaking down is a sign of the success of an otherwise very dubious public relations campaign seeking to cast the idea of patent reform as a giveaway to corporate interests and the Chinese.
One issue is that Goodlatte's "loser pays" provision is a problem for small inventors and universities, not so much of a problem for big companies, and nothing to do with the Chinese. One can look at the recent Columbia University / Illumina matter. Was Columbia University a troll who should pay Illumina's legal fees because Columbia lost?
