European Patent Office: "We need to face up to new challenges"

,----[ Quote ]
| The message from industry is very clear, they want a Community patent, but 
| they don't like what's on the table. There are also voices which say that 
| they are absolutely certain that EPLA is exactly what they want, and others 
| who have real reservations. But you have to get on with what you can, whether 
| it's development of the European Patent Network or working more closely in 
| the Trilateral with Japan and the US, and with the fast growing offices of  
| China and South Korea.

| I firmly believe that Microsoft’s intellectual business division is 
| executing a well-thought out plan – monetize where possible (Novell),
| implicitly threaten where monetization is not possible and sow enough
| uncertainty to slow down those who don’t acquiesce, directly or 
| indirectly, to Microsoft’s licensing pressure.

Peer-to-Patent: Helping out the USPTO

,----[ Quote ]
| I was impressed to see the list of corporate sponsors (see the logos below). 
| There are some pretty big names there. It's unsurprising given the rise of 
| technology-licensing companies like Acacia. The bigger companies have the 
| most to lose when it comes to patent lawsuits.
