		<title>Is First-to-File good or bad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the major aspects of the new patent law is a switch from first to invent to first to file. The main reason for the change was to standardize with the rest of the world. However, I think the main attractiveness is its simplicity. You can give priority based on a simple filing date [...]]]></description>

		<title>Patents and the Mobile Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fascinating article about how patent infringement is affecting the mobile phone operating system landscape. The Rise of Android and why it could be about to Crumble As a consumer, I understand people don&#8217;t like the prices of things being higher because of patent fees, but seems like the crux of this story is that Microsoft [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another day, another dollar siphoned off&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Will the new Congress take any action toward the patent system. Probably not high on Congress&#8217;s legislative agenda, but, seems like if growing new companies is on the agenda, something ought to be done to speed up the process? Whether you are pro-patent or anti-patent, the current system charges fees that only go partially to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bilski decided</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were all waiting for Bilski and now it is hear&#8230;, but not much changed. No clear guidance, but at least innovation lives on. See the Washington Post and tech news for more info.]]></description>

		<title>Waiting for Bilski</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazing how much uncertainty is out there in patent law while we all wait for the Supreme Court. We have gone from State Street which seemed to allow amost everything to be patented to rumors of really restrictive interpretation that may cut out huge areas of technology in the US. Found this excellent analysis of [...]]]></description>

		<title>European Patent Office may relax software patent rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The future of software patents remains unclear in the US as Bilski makes is considered by the Supreme Court. In the meantime, looks like Europe might be willing to accept them. See this article European Union: EPO Considers Relaxing Software Patent Rules]]></description>

		<title>IBM in support of software patents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting quote in the IBM amicus brief in regard to Bilski &#8220;Given the realities that software source code is human readable, and object code can be reverse engineered, it is difficult for software developers to resort to secrecy. Thus, without patent protection, the incentives to innovate in the field of software are significantly reduced. Patent [...]]]></description>

		<title>More fuel for the fire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this rather passionate plea against software patents ( and Microsoft ) at When will Microsoft admit the truth about software patents?. Although I found reading the comments the more fascinating part. First, one of the big complaints is about the time frames in the process. I think people on both sides agree the time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bilski Patent Decision and its affect on software patents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The CAFC ( U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ) recently made a landmark ruling in patent law. It is thought by some to be the end of business method patents and possibly software patents. While the system is flawed, I hope it doesn&#8217;t mean the end of software patents because the reality [...]]]></description>
