Patents – Good News
Gary Locke, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, in an article in Journal Sentinel stated that the time it takes to issue patents is unacceptable. The article also points out the problem of patent office policy forcing examiners to reject applications at unprecedented rate. Secretary Locke also acknowledged that these problems have hurt the American economy. This is great news for inventors.
The only potentially bad news in the article is the statement that the patent office faces severe financial problems. This may mean higher fees in the future. Please read the full article at http://www.jsonline.com/business/54199852.html
