Patent Inflation, Jonathan Masur
Patent Inflation, Jonathan Masur
Articles
For more than two decades, the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) and the Federal Circuit have exercised nearly complete institutional control over the patent system. Yet in recent years their stewardship has been widely criticized, largely on the basis of two particular failings. First, the PTO grants significant numbers of invalid patents, patents that impose substantial costs on innovative firms.

Section II of this paper describes the normative regime that is set up by …

This Comment will discuss the importance of this question in the UN today, and analyze whether protection based on sexual orientation is included in …
