Patent Law

Build a Better Mouse Trap Blog

By Stephen Albainy-Jenei

The Coalition for Patent Fairness has a new website, new content and a new blog - the Better Mouse Trap Blog - that will follow developments relating to patent reform.  The Coalition for Patent Fairness issued this statement:

“Deficiencies in our patent system are holding our economy back by dampening innovation and job creation. Congress needs to pass a bipartisan and comprehensive patent reform bill to modernize and reduce uncertainty in the current system by addressing the backlog of patent applications in the patent office, ensuring only proper patents are being granted, and creating an environment where small, medium and large companies can innovate and create jobs. Our revised website will communicate that message and serve as a source of information for policy makers, business leaders, consumers and journalists interested in patent reform.”

The Better Mouse Trap Blog is supposed to track legislative and regulatory developments, highlight member company activity, and deliver filter-free pro-patent reform messages to interested audiences, which seems like an oxymoron.  While they have an agenda, we’re certain people will take away what they want.
