ADVERTISEMENTS
Like everyone else, patent attorneys like to clean their desks for the weekend and are less productive on Mondays. The chart to the right shows the percentage of patent of patent applications filed on each day of the week. (My data is from a sample of 1.4 million published patent applications filed 1999 to 2007). With the advent of electronic filing, patent attorneys are now able to file on Sunday. For published applications filed in 2007 about 1 out of every 250 was filed on a Sunday. (0.41%).
- Patent Reform Act: Senator Kyl has introduced S.3600.
- Hal Wegner Reports:
- No pay raise for judges this year
- PTO Budget: $2.1 billion
- Six supreme court petitions may be decided within a week:

- IR v. IXYS (timing of appeals)
