Statistics on the Use of Means Plus Function Language: Thus far in 2009 (1/1/2009 – 2/8/2009) the PTO has issued 17,206 patents. Of those, only 12% (2060) have a “means for” clause in the claim language. Looking back one decade, 24% of patents issued in January 1999 included a “means for” clause in the claim language. Looking back two decades, 34% of patents issued in January 1989 included a “means for” clause in the claim language. Looking back three decades, 40% of patents issued in January 1979 included a “means for” clause in the claim language.- New Funny Blog: http://courtoons.wordpress.com/ by appellate attorney David Mills

- PTO Transparancy: Readers submitted two additional suggestions for PTO Transparancy
- The PTO should calculate and publish the expiration date of each patent.
- The PTO should publish reexamination certificates so that they are searchable. [Via NIPPER]
