Patent Law
: Patently ObviousPatently-O Bits and Bytes
By Dennis Crouch, Esq.
- Duplicate fee forms no longer required at the PTO [LINK]
- As previously announced, PTO fees will be up 5% beginning October 2. Is it worth $50 to get you application in a few days early? [LINK]
- Admission to Practice before the PTO: Franklin Pierce professor Tom Field recently petitioned the USPTO to loosen its limits on eligibility to practice patent law before the PTO ? especially with respect to folks with a background in computer science [LINK]. In addition to Professor Field's suggestions, I would add that the limitations on those who can practice design patent law are silly. At least any attorney who passes the registration exam should be allowed to practice design patent law.
- CLE Requirement: Rumors are that the PTO continues to move forward with a proposal mandatory continuing education for registered patent practitioners. I applaud the move ? especially if regular reading of Patently-O can count toward the requirement?
- Foreign Outsourcing: The ABA says foreign outsourcing can be ethical. [LINK]. The new ethics opinion does not address commerce department concerns regarding export restrictions. [Link]
