Podcasts about patent trolls

Magali Touroude a fondé il y a 10 ans sa société spécialisée dans la protection de la propriété intellectuelle : Yes My Patent. Elle a accompagné plus de 600 entreprises en France et est entourée de plusieurs dizaines de spécialistes en IP dans des domaines très pointus. Travaillant pour tous les secteurs, elle nous partage ses avancées dans le domaine de la Défense par exemple, mais également de l'industrie, notamment automobile. Un épisode qui parle du marché européen, le JUB, une nouvelle juridiction commune à 18 États membres de l'UE, mais qui aborde aussi le sujet des "Patent Troll" et de la manière de s'en protéger. Passionnant !

CONDE MCCULLOUGH had a problem. Actually, let's restate that. The Iowa highway department, which McCullough worked for at the time (in 1914), had a problem; what McCullough had was an opportunity. His solution to Iowa's problem would, several years later, enable him to basically write his own ticket, and the name he would write on that ticket in the “destination” category would be “Oregon.” But at the time, that happy day was several years in the future and was far from certain. The problem the highway department was depending on McCullough to solve for them was a big one, and success was far from assured. The problem's name was Daniel Luten, and he was the founder and president of the National Bridge Company. And he was a patent troll — possibly America's first. (Corvallis, Benton County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2407a-1111b.conde-mccullough-1of2-147.657.html)

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 454. I interviewed/had a discussion with my first IP law boss today, William C. (Bill) Norvell, Jr., about our time together when I was a new lawyer, his love of opera and so on, and his views on politics, war, Trump, and his views on the patent and IP system based on his years of experience as a patent prosecutor and patent ligitator. Bill, previously a parter with my former firm Jackson Walker, is now retired from Akerman. He was unable to connect via video on our Zoom call so his part is audio only. https://youtu.be/dfpn3KWnh2Q I've mentioned before there are very few anti-patent IP attorneys (see Pro-IP “Anarchists” and anti-IP Patent Attorneys). It turns out Bill, the guy who taught me patent law, is mostly of that sentiment. In response to my question about whether abolishing the patent system would mean the end of innovation and inventions, go to about 1:26:00, for this interchange: Kinsella: If the patent system disappeared tomorrow, do you think this this would mean that innovation would stop? Norvell: No, absolutely not. I think it's in the mind in the civilized man and woman mind to move forward and advance society, and we've done this since the caveman and the development of fire and the wheel and so forth. Absolutely not. I think the people that I have known and worked with in my career had brilliant minds;  they were creative people people, and they didn't they didn't really didn't give a damn about the patents. You know another point on this, and in direct answer to your question, is that patents are are applications a lot of times are approved to be pursued in corporations to be “warm fuzzies” for engineers and designers and so forth—"oh this man has three patents etc etc etc”—and there's there's not any care about about protectionism and going into the market and so forth. Mankind, in our entire society, the development of the Industrial Revolution, the evolution of that, is in the in the genes, so to speak, of humanity. I don't think it would affect it a bit. I am reminded of the words of an email to me from a patent attorney (Miracle–An Honest Patent Attorney!): Stephan, Your letter responding to Joe Hosteny's comments on Patent Trolls nicely states what I came to realize several years ago, namely, it is unclear that the U.S. Patent System, as currently implemented, necessarily benefits society as a whole. Certainly, it has benefited [Hostey] and his [partners] and several of their prominent clients, and has put Marshall, Texas on the map; but you really have to wonder if the “tax” placed on industry by the System (and its use of juries or lay judges to make the call on often highly complex technical issues that the parties' technical experts cannot agree on) is really worth it. Of course, anyone can point to a few start-up companies that, arguably, owe their successes to their patent portfolios; but over the last 35 years, I have observed what would appear to be an ever increasing number of meritless patents, issued by an understaffed and talent-challenged PTO examining group, being used to extract tribute from whole industries. I have had this discussion with a number of clients, including Asian clients, who have been forced to accept our Patent System and the “taxes” it imposes on them as the cost of doing business in the USA. I wish I had the “answer”. I don't. But going to real opposition proceedings, special patent courts with trained patent judges, “loser pays attorney fees” trials, retired engineers/scientists or other experienced engineers/scientists being used to examine applications in their fields of expertise by telecommuting from their homes or local offices throughout the Country, litigating patent attorneys providing regular lectures to the PTO examiners on problems encountered in patent infringement cases due to ineffective or careless examination of patent applications, and the appointment of actually qualified patent judges to...

They dispel myths and share enlightening information about investing in patents.  04:52 Russ started as a patent attorney, experience with angel investing, and how he got into IP backed loans for companies with revenue. 07:34 Understanding the business is crucial. Validating the solution before wasting money on patents.  Critical to know what is novel and has customer appeal 19:04 Choosing a provisional patent application suggests low expectations to the investor. 21:29 When hiring a patent attorney, it's the entrepreneur's responsibility to ensure the job is done well. Attorney's don't advise, they do what you ask.  24:31 Patent attorney advises getting patents early and often due to risk of someone filing first. However, there is a possibility of prior art invalidating the patent if you share to much in your description. 27:51 Patents pending for a decade, not immune, appealed three times, clarity of patent writing is imperative to avoid costly legal interpretation. 34:20 As patents approach expiration, they lose value to acquirers, limiting a company's time to increase valuation.  Strategies to extend value.  40:12 Large firms often use inexperienced attorneys for patent filings, resulting in poor quality work.

Tech Patent Trolls Are About To Get Worse by Nick Espinosa, Chief Security Fanatic

US founding father Thomas Jefferson gets the credit for establishing the first process in the US for filing and granting patents. But how did patent law change in those early years, and why does Jonathan say the patent office was like the Game of Thrones? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David K. Levine is an economist at the European University Institute and at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author of Michele Boldrin of "Against Intellectual Monopoly", an empirical study of the economics of intellectual property (available for free here) that concludes that IP is not necessary for innovation and as a practical matter is damaging to growth, prosperity, and liberty.IP law allegedly offers protection of innovation, most importantly in the form of patents and copyright. Most economists see IP protection as a "necessary evil". However, David believes they are in fact an unnecessary evil.While IP laws do increase the reward for the innovator through a legally granted monopoly to produce and sell a unique product, they also have perverse effects such as making it costly and cumbersome to use other inventions, and they reward the inventor with better lawyers over the inventor with the better innovation.So-called "patent trolls", for example, deliberately patent everything they can and sue other people to extract money. Surprisingly, many of the most famed inventors in history such as James Watts (steam engine) and the Wright Brothers (airplanes) turn out to be patent trolls. James Watts' predatory use of patent laws against his competitors had possibly delayed the Industrial Revolution by two decades.David uses multiple examples from the music industry to the pharma industry to show that the alleged benefits of IP law are in fact empirically not demonstrated.IP law is, therefore, a great example of a pernicious regulation that is holding back innovation not only in one but in many different industries across the board from media production, software, and financial markets all the way to pharma.This episode offers deep insights into the history and mechanics of innovation. We learn about the so-called "lifecycle of innovation". Innovation typically starts with tinkerers and hobbyists, becomes a professional industry, and develops wide use of patents only late in its development to sustain the privilege of incumbents.It shows that we need to develop a much better understanding of innovation as a process that requires permissionless tinkering.Niklas on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NiklasAnzingerInfinita Website: https://infinitavc,com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Z4H6UjbubK

Guests Ana Jiménez Santamaría | McCoy Smith Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! On this episode, Richard is at the FOSS Backstage 2022 that is held in Berlin every year. This conference focuses on open source sustainability. He had the opportunity to interview people who were there in-person and talk about open source software sustainability, what they hope to find in FOSS Backstage, the talks they did, and a bunch of other good stuff. Our first guest is Ana Jiménez Santamaría, who is the OSPO Program Manager at the TODO Group, a Linux Foundation project. We also have another guest, McCoy Smith, who is the Founding Attorney of Lex Pan Law, where he specializes in patents, copyrights, and free and open source licensing. Go ahead and download this episode now to find out much more! [00:01:48] Ana tells us what she does at The Linux Foundation. She also explains more about the TODO Group, how the memberships are structured, what TODO offers, and what she offers as an OSPO manager there. [00:05:23] Ana gave a talk and was part of a panel at FOSS Backstage and she shares her perspective on InnerSource versus Open Source and what TODO does with InnerSource. [00:09:46] Richard asks Ana what she thinks is the right way for corporations to give back, what the ratio is of giving back to the open source community, and how do you do that in a good way. [00:12:32] We find out what TODO does to help organizations coordinate their giving back to open source projects. [00:14:47] Looking at the TODO Group and looking ahead in the next three to five years, Ana tells us what she's most excited about making. [00:17:24] Richard asks Ana if TODO Group offers anything towards the midsize or mini OSPO companies and what do they offer. [00:19:17] Ana explains more about OSPOlogy. [00:21:37] Find out the best way to get involved in TODO Group. [00:24:15] Our next guest, McCoy Smith, joins us and shares his background. [00:26:44] McCoy gives us the details on the talk he did at FOSS Backstage on, Project Ownership & Project Enforcement: The Rules, they are A-Changing, and he explains some acronyms he talked about in his presentation: CAA, CLA, and LELO. [00:30:14] Does enforcement matter for most open source projects? [00:31:49] Richard asks McCoy about proliferation of licenses and wonders if that's even an issue or how he views it affecting the open source space. [00:34:17] We find out if McCoy is seeing open source being more of a liability for law than it used to be like for legal parts of large corporations or if he's seeing open source focus on security more than it used to be.

Marc Maron is the host of a successful podcast, and when he and some other pioneers started out he didn't have to think much about the layers of technology he was using, until a patent troll came to call, asking for thousands of dollars to pay for the “rights” to  podcasting because of a patent they were mis-using to get money from the nascent podcast world. Marc and his producer Brendan knew that if they didn't take up the fight to stop the trolls, then all of podcasting would be under threat, so they joined up with some EFF lawyers and a whole lot of listeners to win their fight. In this episode you'll learn about: The prior art, or evidence of earlier technology that EFF was able to present to courts to prove that the so-called “podcasting patent” was invalid. How the landmark Alice v. CLS Bank Supreme Court decision has helped make patent law better, but still didn't solve the problem of patent trolls Why patent trolls are a drain on innovationHow we should think about which ideas should be building blocks for the public good, and which should be owned Why the community that came together around the podcasting patent fight was critical to EFF's victory How EFF prevailed when the patent troll tried to get the names of EFF donorsThis podcast is supported by the Alfred P.

In today's global, intertwined economy, patent trolls are a threat to innovation, both now and in the future. In the US, trolls are known to track patent activity and take advantage of the slightest opportunity, and this is likely to increase in other markets. In this Business Conversations podcast, Intellectual Property expert Ken Seddon discusses the strategies that many of the world's top innovators in AI, cloud, blockchain, autonomous vehicles, electronics, and 5G are using to protect themselves from costly and unwanted patent troll litigation. The three key areas discussed in this Business Conversations podcast include: •What is a patent assertion entity (PAE or "patent troll") •How does a patent troll affect business both in Australia and around the world •How can a company protect its innovation from costly patent litigation Ken Seddon is the CEO of LOT Network - an international community of the world's leading high-tech companies committed to protecting its members from costly patent troll litigation. LOT Network currently protects more than 600 members in 36 countries from litigation from over 2.3 million worldwide patents and counting. Network members include market leaders such as IBM, Toyota, Visa, Canon, Google, Tesla, Cisco, Amazon, Microsoft, Alibaba and Salesforce, as well as innovative companies across industries. Ken joined LOT in April of 2015, bringing over 20 years of experience managing all areas of intellectual property. Previously, Ken was with some of the largest patent holders in the world including Apple, Micron, Motorola, Intel and most recently as the Vice President of IP at ARM.
