The Patent Act of 2005

Posted by Hemos on Monday April 25, 2005 @02:23AM from the the-joy-of-the-legal-age dept.

stevelaniel writes "The Patent Act of 2005 has been proposed, and at least one law professor has described it as "a surprisingly broad proposal to reform patent law. Among other significant changes, it proposes to scrap the first to invent standard in favor of a first to file standard. Other notables include imposing a rigorous duty of candor on applicants, limits on damages/injunctions and new standards for anticipating prior art." The Promote The Progress weblog is compiling source documents on the Act."

Did anyone read the bill before posting about it?

Wait, you expected any different than the standard /. reaction?
