The new system to prohibit construction site trench soil shrinks

Geotechnical engineers in Loughborough University in England have been working on a new way to prevent catastrophic soil shrinks on construction sites, and landslides, occur naturally, but without notice. Good sensor system of the measure reducing sound behaviour of soil to predict when a landslide or trench is imminent, so as to take preventive measures before people are injured.

The new system works exactly the same way as the bending Rod a cracking noise which build up until it snaps. So that the movement of soil before rocks creates increasing rates of sound, "says investigator Neil Dixon of major projects.

"This has been known from the 1960s, but what we have been able to do so is a new capture and process this information in order to quantify the relationship between noise and soil displacement rates as it happens in real time-and therefore provides early warning."

The system has the potential to prevent their untold number of incidents, construction worker injuries and deaths from naturally occurring landslides in the world.

You can use any infrastructure-building tools

Develop system dual-use items. First because the system does not require a central computer, it may be placed in a developing country or anywhere where there is some potential for subsidence. The second system can be deployed to monitor the construction sites, mines and pits with potentially unstable slopes, built to maintain the road or rail embankments, fees or other infrastructure.

Network of cheap sensors should optical and/or acoustic alarms. They could even be set up to send text messages to the safety of the workplace disaster response personnel, giving them early warning which would enable them to evacuate the area, stop the workers or residents of cross field for unstable or take steps in order to stabilize the slope or trench.

Sensors act as microphones, noise in the subsoil, and sent to the central computer for analysis. Increased soil noises are known to predict imminent soil shrinks, but such information does not have practical application.

"Developing low-cost independent acoustic slope sensors is only possible in very recent times due to the presence of microprocessors that are fast, small and cheap enough for this task," said Dixon.

Commercially available sensor system may have to start the prevention of landslides and construction accidents early in the next two years.

Who says the claim construction is difficult? Who says it is unpredictable? Nonsense! Claim construction is easy! Anybody can do it. Simply follow the clear guidelines established by the Federal Circuit.

And what location the?

It is too easy. The Federal Circuit has kindly expose them decision today in banc in Phillips v. AWH Corporation. I just read that - all pages of fifty-six of the same.

Start with the opinion of the majority of the judges Bryson, Michel, Clevenger, Rader, Schall, Gajarsa, Linn, Dyk and Prost. And look at the additional opinions of judge Lourie, who is joined to parts I, II, III, V and VI and judge Newman, who joined to parts I, II, III and v. But don't forget dissent in part from the Lourie judge which joins judge Newman. And then there is dissent judge, judge Newman joins Mayer. But trust me, it makes sense. Really does it. I am so grateful that the Court has clarified things.

Seriously, I have not had chance to skim more than opinion, but my first reaction is, "you have to be kidding". While the short description of exploitation could well be that "the specification takes precedence over dictionaries in interpreting the claims," If the Court considers somewhat clarified confusing body of law which governs the construction of the claim, is very much mistaken. With thirty-eight pages of "clarity" in the opinion of the majority by itself, any removed moderately creative can be found broad support for just about any argument of construction of the claim that you would like to advance. And at the end of the day, while a majority of the judges claimed an agreement on the construction law, yet separated to how the underlying case must decide ultimately.

Personally, I think that the dissenting opinion of Mayer judges States much more eloquent than I what here is wrong. In his words, "more that never convinced the futility, indeed absurdity, the persistence of this Court to accede to the falsehood that claim construction is now a matter of law lacks any component facts". In a rare moment of judicial integrity, he acknowledges that "any attempt at a consistent level under this regime of fashion is useless, as demonstrated by our many failed attempts to do so".

Judges not asked me advice on how to straighten this mess, but anyway you offer some. How going back to basics, as judge Markey did so effectively in the first days of existence of the Court? What define the scope of the patent, focusing on the words of the claims, not to hide the statements in the specification? Do you remember that you there's still the seventh amendment and once more allow jurors to decide a patent that really reveals, the inventor of what actually invented and what really cover their assertions factual questions?

His illusion, of course, to believe the Court never voluntarily give their self-created power to make a final decision in each case of patents. Judge Mayer dissent noted in terms contrasts the reality of modern patent litigation: "but after receive over thirty amici curiae advises to propose not less than seven questions, and flogging the bar in a frenzy of expectation, we can say anything new but simply reiterate what has become the practice in the last ten years - which we will decide cases according to the results in any way or method in the results you want, or at least allows us an apparently plausible outside of the case form".

After a promising start, the Federal Circuit has lost its way to bring stability and predictability to the patent jurisprudence. Today's decision confirms that things may get worse before they get better.

Promote progress?

Published on May 25, 2006 by Philip Mann

A recent patently-O blog entry discusses the economy in the so-called "patent thickets" (which, I understand, is the new name for what used to be called "a full art"). There is some detailed discussion and fascinating on, inter alia, the recent decision by ebay and holders of how patents such act a "maze", since injunctions (supposedly) already are not an inevitable conclusion.

I understand the question is whether an extensive "tangle of patent" could lead to more or less patent litigation and if the case of ebay is to reduce or even increase where exits a tangle of such patent litigation. While I intend not to know or understand all the economic theory behind the opposing views, has surprised of what I think is an emphasis among commentators wrong. Why theorizing it about what this effect have in litigation and the propensity for patent owners to sue? Why all the concern if this encourage or discourage the so-called "patent trolls"? Is the goal of the patent system just to make life easier for lawyers and judges? Is to enable big companies to steal technology with impunity? And (should be just all) is simply to provide lucrative opportunities for quotas to patent lawyers test fees like me?

The constitutional system patent justification is, of course, to "promote the progress of science and useful arts" - not to provide a comfortable life patent attorneys or to make life easier for federal judges. The issue I have (and really don't know) if the patent system is or does not meet its mission of promoting the progress of science and useful arts. Nobody really carried out a scientific study of whether patents promote scientific progress and if changes deep in the system of patents in the last 24 years have been effective indeed this objective?

There is no doubt that the explosion in the patent and the growth of intellectual property has been great for lawyers. It has also been good for businesses (large and small) and even individuals capable of exploiting their patents. But once again, the question is whether advances in science and useful arts has really been promoted by what has happened and is happening now. Frankly, I'm not sure that nobody really concerned this already.

Reform, Reform, Reform

Published on August 16, 2005 by Philip Mann

However another article about "Patent reform" today. To listen to some of these guys, you would think that Microsoft, breach, goggles and IBM in the world at risk of being exhausted by small patent holders.

Where it was lost for the first time, try again.!

A patent right is a right of property. The essence of a right of property is the right to exclude others. "Own" my home media I keep strangers and others that I don't want to live there. You have a right of property "legal" means that I can call envelope legal help system (for example, if strangers in my house are considerably larger I am). Similarly, if you took a chance and buy a house in a less established area and a few years later the area gets "hot" and now I can sell it for several times what I paid, what something inherently wrong in this? (This is, after all, America...) Should the law intervene and me "rent" in my house any stranger who wants to, or worse yet, simply breaks in and takes it force? Should the law intervene and me to do so at reduced prices, when the stranger is a billionaire and can easily afford to what I am demanding force? Why things be different when the property is a patent, rather than using a home?

I do not know of, the proposed "reforms", I think most unpleasant. (There are so many good choices!) Today, I think the attack of injunctions is what me more galls. What if you can't keep people out of their property, which makes "yours" or "property"?

The author of the article object asks "why should care." You must, but perhaps not for the reasons that thought.

When I was an engineer, I had no intention to spend my life with a huge company. Like many of my contemporaries, I had dreams of learning the ropes with an established company and then forming my own business around a new idea. Law school and some other things kind of diversion for a time, but would like to think young fixed fee today that dream. If do them, I hope to realize that patents strong and, more importantly, a legal system that will enforce even against the interests of powerful enterprises, are some of the few things that could give them a break even. If so, should be fighting against these so-called "patent reform" tooth and nail.

Time will tell.

The Empire Strikes Back?

As well, things have been pretty busy around here last month or so, with an oral argument before the Federal Circuit last month and a case goes to trial on a couple of weeks. While I have not sent in time, still find time to continue with the efforts of "patent reform" called currently underway before Congress.

A Boston Globe article today indicates that there is a serious effort by very powerful interests to undermine the effectiveness of patents for individuals and small businesses. Nothing really new here - just the same old things patent trolls and basic injustice waiting large enterprises to obey the laws of patents too. The twist here is that, according to major software companies, the decision of Eolas semi-recent will have "unintentionally send more jobs outside of United States technology consequence".

Fun, I always thought that large companies forever looking for cheaper labor sent to employment outside of United States technology.

Total cars defect causing injury to the Brain in children in the rear seats

Aaliyah George parents that they were doing the safest thing for her, when they are placed two-year of the car seat in the back seat three years ago. Then they were in what must have been relatively minor catastrophe.

Family 1997 Plymouth Neon has stopped at a red light when another car, which is just below 30 mph rear scheme. Instead of absorbing impact at the rear, however the driver's seat is at the front of the Aliyah collapsed and it hit in the head, causing injury to the permanent brain.

Now 5, Aaliyah is difficult time with basic tasks like banging the drum game. It can't dress himself. It needs essential care.

Family win product liability Suit against a manufacturer

Has its headquarters in Plymouth 1997 that broke apart and shocks Aaliyah faulty? This is not a manufacturing error--more than the actual seat of safety standards of the manufacturer, which are more stringent than those required by the Federal Government.

However, the parents of Aaliyah sued Johnson Controls Incorporated, the company that made seats for Plymouth Neon, stating that it unduly dangerous to the driver's seat. Head impact due to its tendency to collapse and fall back in the rear, it counted automatically defect although it to fulfil all the requirements for the safety of Federal.

The jury agreed and awarded Aaliyah 8 million dollars in damages for injury to his brain.

There have been scores of such injuries of children in the United States by drivers and passengers seats which collapse instead of drawdown of impact from the rear.

"Front-seat passenger was rocket that is returned and drive the brain of the child in the head," explains Georges personal injury lawyer. "" We are seeing serious injuries to the brain and frontal M〃glavinata is simply devastating to those young children. "

Lou D ' Aurelio, sponsoring the name Georges engineer describe what happens when one of the front row of seats collapses.

' Seat or body, or both its will in any sitting behind them. Most of the time these days to be a child. "

Currently cardboard or lawn chair may Tisza standard Federal safety

Standard for the strength of the seat back current Federal safety is so poor lawn chair and seat made of cardboard were able to pass on, says D ' Aurelio. The standard was established in 1968, and D ' Aurelio and other experts on road transport have been trying to change it for years. There are no specific safety standard for how passengers should be protected if the front row of seats contraction accident.

National safety of the highway says the Agency intends to update the standard of the strength of the seat back, but no decision has been made.

Control of Johnson plans to appeal the jury verdict.

"As a vendor, Johnson Controls seat follow the design specifications supplied by the manufacturer of the car and any performance requirement," says company, in a declaration.

"It is indisputable that the seat is in accordance with the requirements for the safety of automobile, which are more stringent than the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS)."

"Neural bridge study paralysis could offer hope for the future

Today, people with severe spinal cord injuries and paralysis may occur fairly in a positive prognosis for the entire loss of function, with a limited possibility for the improvement gained only through the grueling work. Current medical research on human embryonic stem cells therapy and electronic stimulation, however, may provide long-term hope that catastrophic damage already someone may mean a life of individuals and their families.

Research is carried out now in Los Angeles has developed electronic "neural bridge" rat hind legs, which are completely paralyzed. Spinal cord injury research. Edgerton, in English and graduate student Parag GAD have managed to help paralyzed rats, moving on all fours again.

More research is necessary to carry out before the technique can be moved forward to human development, but Los Angeles study shows a great deal of promise to assist people suffering from injuries to the spinal cord and other forms of paralysis.

Los Angeles ' Neural bridge "paralyzed rats playlist allows

After spinal cord injury major brain cannot communicate with the muscles through the spinal cord, which is why some injuries to the spinal cord cause paralysis. However, the researchers say that even after complete severing of the spinal cord, the body keeps neural "connection" to allow the spinal cord to send messages to the muscles.

The spinal cord and muscles retain the ability to perform complex functions such as walking and the sequence of movements required for walking is "stored" in the spinal cord-it does not require conscious thoughts. Only problem is that, after an injury to the spinal cord, brain cannot tell the spinal cord and muscles to begin.

Signals coming from the brain, is not to enable this muscle and then this muscle and then this muscle, "says Edgerton. "Is to activate the program, which is built into the scheme. Message comes from the brain telling step. The spinal cord is know what moved; He simply must be told to do so. "

Edgerton and Badass attach "neural bridge" electrodes placed on the outer membrane of the spine. Bridge, combined with muscle stimulation technique called electromyography (EMG), says spinal cord, brain what would say: "start walking."

Even more exciting, Edgerton and GAD have created a system where the trigger for the rat hind legs to start walking is keyed their attempt to walk with their front legs.

EMG is already being used to help amputees their Prosthetic limbs, but Edgerton and Badass were able to create even rhythmic gait, which go beyond what is achieved by stimulating the muscles directly by EMG.

"We want to see what kind of strategies can be used for the patient to be able to control when to turn it on and when to turn it off," says Edgerton. "[GAD] has developed the system so that the rat is control. It does not necessarily know that control, but when it moves the forelimbs, rear limbs will be included. "

CITES A "No Precedential" views to be permitted. It's about time.

Published on April 14, 2006 by Philip Mann

One of my pet peeves is the rule against even mention so-called views "not precedential" or "unpublished" in underpants before the federal courts of appeal. Dennis Crouch and Law.com both denounce the Supreme Court has now voted to change the long-standing rule and allow that he cites that such decisions previously out of bounds. It is time.

This whole question of decisions "not precedential" has always struck me as silly and dishonest. It is like saying some historical facts and events are "not citable", and therefore outside of the scope for inclusion in the history books. Happened something or not. The Tribunal decided something or not. If you are going to pay attention to pay to the idea of stare decisis - and there are serious doubts whether we should even - is intellectually dishonest to gut the principle simply pretending some inconvenience cases decided never to.

Surprisingly, Kozinski judge 9th district - a judge who respect and generally under - opposed the rule change and supports keep the way things are. In his words, "when the people doing the sausage tell them is not safe for human consumption, seems strange fact that a Committee in Washington tell people to go ahead and eat it anyway." True. But the real problem lies not with the Commission, but with faulty sausage itself. If future litigants should not have to consume "sausage" Irreflexive decision, why should the parties in this particular case has to eat well?

As reported in the article Law.Com, "Judge Alex Kozinski, the main opponent of the rule, change says unpublished opinions were so designated for one reason: they are drafted 'totally' by right employees and staff lawyers." Thanks for the explanation, the judge. I am sure that offers great comfort to whom great lost as a result. (Personally, I suspect this procedure also true for even published opinions, but that is a matter for another day.)

Fundamentally, however, the problem is not with whom written decisions and what level of detail. The real question is whether all or just some, will decide on the basis of the law and facts entrusted by the people, not to mention payment, by the company to do so. Or we will tolerate the corners of the Court and to sweep the problem under the carpet by designating the most embarrassing results "not precedential"? If it is, ultimately, overburdened courts - and may well be-, then, that anyone has to provide the resources to do the job right, or perhaps rethink and trim, what matters should even be delegated to the courts in the first place.

Signs of things to come?

Published on August 24, 2008 by Philip Mann

Just when it seems that things cannot be much worse for patent applicants, the Federal Circuit surprised us with a modest string decisions actually find in favor of patent holders.

Just a week after Muniauction, Inc. (pdf) did it on the Chin for having his upside down $ 77 million jury verdict (invested in "you get zip, nothing, nothing"), DC guys decided really one in favour of the proprietor of the patent. (pdf)?Moreover did defend a finding of infringement summary judgment. Hmmm, has not seen in quite some time.

1 August of this year, really surpassed themselves by not only invest summary of findings (pdf) invalidity, non-infringement, and unfair (with honorary been driven boot) behaviour, but direct that the case reassigned to a different judge pre-trial and trial. I had to pinch I sure that I was not dreaming. I wasn't, six days later did them it again (pdf) (not good, almost - no reassignment to a new judge this time).

Then in brief summary of the order (1) mounting an offending potential that filed a lawsuit early DJ (2) partially retained a jury on a holder of individual patent and (3) a lower vacancy court verdict the conclusion of the judgment of non-infringement, and no responsibility for damages. What is truly amazing is that the second of these (Voda v. Cordis) actually had retained from the jury finding of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents - the doctrine of equivalents of all things! (For young people who have never heard of it, just ask anyone in practice by 2002.) He might even be able to tell you about Phlogiston too.)

Speaking of ancient history, the circuit of the eight at a time was for anti-patent had an uninterrupted chain of 18 or 19 decisions, each one find the subject patent invalid.? Finally and clearly recognizing that this not had gone unnoticed by the bar retained some obscure patents, probably just to get one in the column "win" for a change.

While the cynical side of tells me that the federal circuit simply is doing the same here, (all in all, even in the tightest casinos that someone let win occasionally) would like to think that perhaps the pendulum is swinging in favor of owners once more.

On a serious note, I really want to think is not lost former Labour Markey, Rich judges and others were made to provide the right patent from arcane haven to the forefront of the law.? There is no doubt in my mind that the law has changed far protect individual inventors in recent years and that some in the Court have a program in this direction.? It is unclear if win.

Perhaps this minor cases of patent rights chain signals of a real shift towards strong patents.? Perhaps are just a minor aberration.? Or perhaps the real aberration has been the first twenty years of existence of the Federal Circuit, and that what we are witnessing now is simply a reversal of the law backward to what has been all the time.? I would not believe it, but the truth is that during most of the 20th century patents is not worth much, if anything. We have lived through before, and easily could happen it again.? We go that direction?? I guess time will tell.

OSHA Redstone Arsenal mortality study of Willful violations:

Federal occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) has completed its investigation of the explosion at Redstone Arsenal may, which has led to the wrongful deaths of two civilian workers. In a statement released Friday OSHA cited Amtec for willful two and four serious workplace safety violations that directly contributed a fatal accident and has proposed a fine of $ 134,000 against Huntsville based company that employed two men.

Redstone Arsenal spokesman Dan o' Boyle said Huntsville times on Saturday Arsenal officials had not Yet reviewed the data of the OSHA report. Arsenal performs its own investigation of an industrial accident.

OSHA said Amtec cannot ensure safety rules and standard operating procedures; army Amtec denies application of workers at risk

Amtec "failed to ensure the proper equipment is used," said OSHA area director Roberto Sanchez, although I knew Arsenal is a dangerous job, having also allows workers to process materials for more than 10 times the amount of explosives in accordance with standard operating procedures of the army. "

Two officials of Amtec ammonium perchlorate were separation from other chemicals in rocket fuel, an explosion. Two men suffered burns more than 90% of their authorities and died later that day.

OSHA cited for two violations of Amtec safety "willful", which means that the Amtec acted intentionally or with willful indifference to the health and safety of workers from exposure of workers against the hazards of fire and explosive does not check the suitability of the equipment for processing of ammonium perchlorate and n butanol slurry and for the exploitation of neighbouring Decanter centrifuge instead of in the remote location system. "

OSHA also cited Amtec for four "serious" safety violations, which means that the company knew, or should know of danger which is likely to lead to a serious worker injury or death of the wrongful.

OSHA cited the storage of more than 120 gallons of n-butanol near the location of ammonium perchlorate, processing, as serious safety violation. It also cited Amtec to allow workers to remove n-butanol from one container to another without proper bonding and grounding, creates a risk of ignition. He also says that sources of ignition are allowed area, where you can accumulate flammable hazards.

Advocate for Amtec, genus of OSHA Steakley, called the report "materially inaccurate" because, for example, "has participated in the explosion in General and was present at the meeting (s) intact after the incident."

OSHA also cited for failing to provide Amtec flame-retardant clothing for workers. Steakley says Amtec is in fact provide receipts OSHA showing that it will be bought as protective clothing for men.

"Great lengths have been taken to ensure the safety of our employees," said Steakley.

Amtec is 15 working days of receipt of the report on OSHA to respond. They can choose to pay the fine, asked informal or formal dispute citations Conference and it seems that they intend to challenge them.

"Amtec believes he is engaged in the alleged willful or serious infringements," says Steakley, and looks forward to the possibilities for settlement of these claims, if given the opportunity to do so. "

In defense of contingent Commission fee patent attorneys

Published on September 14, 2005 by Philip Mann

Many thanks to Steve Nipper, that "rethink (ip)" today, blog sends a link to article Joseph Hosteny recent "corner of Litigators" in the August 2005 issue today of intellectual property. Thank you also Mr. Hosteny perhaps give some truths unpleasant about what is happening in large law firms.

In case that someone wondered why patent litigation is so expensive, Mr. Hosteny offers some truthful and fun ideas. Chuckle because I know too well the games that are played, having once been a large firm lawyer myself.

Large companies love (always and when the client is loaded) patent cases because they are a license to print money. Opportunities for shenanigans procedures are nearly limitless with Markman, branch of damages, review requests and all audiences. And of course, is absolutely critical to ensure that you get all 50 identical copies of the same document in accordance with the request, not only the actually provided 49. (You never know when might be a crucial admission in the margin of the copy of lack pencils.) Make sure that there are a lot of overlap and that it might be difficult for lay people to see what these efforts have to do with anything important, but hey, what is money in a time like this?

What I have always enjoyed about contingent work is lawyering in the purest form - not to do anything to advance your case with realism. Critics accuse contingente-tasa increase legal defence lawyers, but I have never seen is how the case – even when he was on the other side and billing for hours. (Otherwise, and more than once, I thought I really owed to my opponents of contingent fees at least one case of wine or Scotch whisky have helped to hit me my hours for the year - and then some.)

The truth is, today, with advanced technology, legal fees should be going down, not up. Most courts allow lawyers out-of-town appearing by telephone for audiences of routine. Statements can be made on the video to avoid travel time and minimize spending. PACER and other online resources make it easy to access reports well documented and memoranda on issues that arise again and again. Still other services online to spending and a legal library loading based on role obsolete too. Finally, is that law firms will jump to the most expensive downtown buildings available really necessary? (Is, if that is actually selling the signature is safe CYA to nervous in-house counsel will have a lot of explaining to do if a case goes to the South.)

The big problem for new quotas for attorneys fees is know that battles are, and what not, worth fighting. Takes a bit of nerves and confidence so don't miss the time and effort in battles of discovery or procedural that really does not influence the outcome of a case.

Mr. Hosteny article is a good education for those entering only the field of the tariff quotas. Efficiency and economy are vital. Also it is educational for those who may be at the receiving end of enormous legal bills and we wonder how happen, assuming that you care them.

A Civil Action

Jonathan Harr's nonfiction bestseller was a shot in the arm for those seeking more than last-minute heroics akin to a John Grisham thriller. Here was a labyrinthine case involving industrial pollution by two highly regarded corporations, contaminated drinking water, and the deaths of innocent children in New England, circa 1981. The case has hundreds of twists and takes our hero--a steady, respectable lawyer named Jan Schlichtmann--and turns his life into personal disaster. Instead of celebrating the law, the story is a maddening and rewarding look at the elusiveness of the courtroom case.

Steven Zaillian, who won an Oscar for adapting Schindler's List and directed Searching for Bobby Fischer, boils Harr's 502-page book into a complete, satisfactory film experience. Book readers will no doubt jeer the streamlining Zaillian had to perform to make the movie flow. Most changes can be quickly defused with the exception of the film's portrait of Schlichtmann. The lawyer has been turned into a movie star, an ultra-slick, cold-hearted gentleman who finds his purpose in working the case. Casting a stalwart John Travolta again diverges from the book, which right from the opening pages showed us a Schlichtmann with feet of clay. As Schlichtmann's partners (including William H. Macy and Tony Shalhoub) descend into the case, the unbridled sense of power and money is abandoned. This case is ultimately about survival.

Zaillian provides an excellent narrative for the sordid facts of personal injury suits, in which money is the only reward for lost or broken lives (deftly introduced in the film's opening scene). Zaillian also stays away from dwelling on the illness of the children involved, focusing on the gaunt faces of the parents who survive (Kathleen Quinlan, James Gandolfini) in controlled anguish. His evil characters--an industrial plant's owner (Dan Hedaya) and a corporate lawyer (another fine acting spin by director Sydney Pollack)--are so human it's terrifying. Zaillian's final ace in the hole is Oscar-nominee Robert Duvall. Perfectly cast as Travolta's opposition, Jerome Facher, Duvall steals scenes with the abbreviated dialogue; he turns a fancy settlement meeting into a farce with one line. Facher is not a callous, love-to-hate-him lawyer like James Mason in The Verdict. Facher represents the law at its brilliant foundation: to best represent one's client. With a taped-together briefcase and dry humor, Facher, not Schlichtmann, is the character who captures us by the film's end. --Doug Thomas

Let's Hear for Dr. Myhrvold!

Published on May 2, 2005 by Philip Mann

Recent testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on patent reform Dr. Nathan p. Myhrvold ignores strong rights for small inventors and companies within the scope of the patent. Coming from a now rich man who easily you could join forces of large companies, it is refreshing that Dr. Myhrvold has rewritten the story nor forgotten otherwise where wine.

(Many thanks to j. Matthew Buchanan, editor of the I.P. blog "Promote the progress" to do this and other issues on his site Subcommittee hearings records).

Testimony of Dr. Myhrvvold is insightful, informative and well worth reading. He makes several valid points to counteract the proposed "reforms".

As for the argument that small inventors only a minor role in technical innovation, says that even the biggest companies rarely hold more than 10% of the patents in a given field: "[I] f add them, universities, private individuals and small businesses as a whole have substantially more patents processor Intel or IBM - in fact over the two combined." "Small inventors have more patents of Microsoft's operating system, most patent Cisco networks and more wireless patents to Qualcomm".

Also testifying, says, "critics of the patent system sometimes speak derisively myth of the small inventor, ignoring his contribution." "Well, am here to tell you that small inventors are not only alive and well, but actually contribute inventions rather than large corporations."

Dr. Myhrvold also makes a strong case why the relief by mandate must remain a resource suitable for patent infringement. Noting that "irreparable harm" is not a corresponding element in relief by permanent mandate, Dr. Myhrvold testified that "[T] he Committee print says, in effect, okay take ownership of the owner of the patent as not irreparably harm them." This is equivalent to say okay for an occupant to camp on your lawn to that damage to you isn't "irreparable". "This flies to most property concepts."

As to the claim that there was an explosion of patent claims, Dr. Myhrvold says, "the magnitude of the alleged problem not is confirmed by the statistics." Noting that just over 2% of patent claims presented in the last 5 years were submitted by entities which do not produce products, Dr. Myhrvold testified, "Tales of terror not on an epidemic or the situation that is out of control - is really a very minor phenomenon."

Finally and revealing, Dr. Myhrvold says United States - large companies which produce supposedly real products - often not really producing products at all. Make R & D, arrive with brilliant designs, and then increasingly sending this offshore intellectual property for real production elsewhere. "As is, is becoming increasingly rare for a company that 'makes' products for manufacturing." Instead designed products that are built by the other, often outsourced overseas. "What is the difference between and an inventor to license their patents?" Good question indeed.

I am biased is true that in this debate, but I think that the testimony of Dr. Myhrvold is valid and accurately identifies defects in these calls "reforms". It comes as make someone who has "been there" and "done", I believe that the Senate Subcommittee would be wise views of Dr. Myhrvold credit and give considerable weight.

That concern women

Posted on January 29, 2009 by Philip Mann

The vast majority of cases settle.? What varies is when, how and in what conditions do.? Perhaps has to do with a weakening of the economy, but we are seeing a trend defined for the accused (or more likely it is that their lawyers) to dig in their heels and fight, instead of the reasonable reach an agreement approach.

I'm not really surprised, given that each day I read another important firing 50 lawyers undertaking or, worse still, closing its doors.? Money spent on lawyers is one of the first things to cut when effective is close, and with fewer large tickets available litigation to pay the rent, large firm lawyers have a powerful incentive to convert each case on something important.

How do you know?

Used to be a great partner firm working primarily on the Defense side and know how.

Standard speech always includes a call to the "principle" and the need to send a strong message that "we cannot be pushed."? As if counsel for the plaintiff, any fact taken into account.

There are a lot of issues to consider before taking a case and certainly before filing a complaint.? Most importantly, the case has merit?? Secondly, sufficient potential damage worth?? Very important is whether the accused can really pay if the judgment is obtained?? However, a question which never gives us any pause any is "the accused make a fight?"? Of course do so.? It is always a possibility, and the reputation of a company for cases vigorously defend simply does not enter into the calculation.? A defense attorney and their defenses is only part of the game.

You have now been on the plaintiff side for quite some time, I feel a little silly, recalling the principles speeches given once corporate clients about the need of that stand up and send a message to the plaintiff's bar.? Actually, my opponents doesn't matter reputations, "message" or the rugged perceived of defence counsel.

I understand the need for a great signing of lawyer of success to their numbers and take the cash.? And combating cases is what lawyers do, on both sides.? But rational business customer decisions must be based on the more stupid statements about "messages", "principle" and so on.? You would think that smart enough to enrich himself in the first place people would know when their lawyers are blowing smoke.

Once again, solve the vast majority of cases, and usually do when when customers awake their true interests really where.

Taft residents Mourn the wrongful death of Huntsville Walmart employee

The inhabitants of a small community of Taft, Tennessee, are mourning the wrongful death of 25-year-old Walmart employee who was shot Monday, 6 December, estranged ex-girlfriend of a colleague.

Shocking murder on the Walmart parking device University in Huntsville is a result of domestic violence. The victim of a deliberate act of brutality is grazed by a bullet during the shooting occurred once it has broken with the Sagittarius.

"She said, if it ever remains, it is fear of that which would have made," said the owner of a local food shop in Taft on Tuesday. "She said she would have left him long ago if it is not so scared."

Walmart and young employed person who is killed in shooting are residents of Taft, even though the shooter has not lived there for long. Shooter ex-girlfriend has also lived in Taft for a certain period of time, so that all three were well known residents.

After the violent events on Monday a shooter was found at his home Taft. He was then shot himself and he died during the night the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Friends and loved ones Mourn slain remember standing

Taft is situated at the junction of the small community of about 20 miles north of Huntsville, just over the line of Tennessee. The slain Walmart employee grows in the area and is loved.

That is driving the costs of litigation? (Or, "maybe the recession Worse Than We Think!")

Home articles algorithm that is driving the costs of litigation algorithm? (Or, "maybe the recession Worse Than We Think!")Published on February 12, 2010 by Philip Mann

As contributors to lawyers fees and so-called "patent trolls" for booting, my colleagues and I blamed for many of the ills that plague society.? Us - who do not pay unless we are successful - is merito-menos cases files, prolong litigation, resources, waste and cause innocent defendants pay their lawyers more than two million dollars on average to fend for themselves.? It is a wonder that sleep at night.

These thoughts before a sonrisita is true to self congratulatory my face as I received the recent decision of the Circuit Federal stating denial rates District Court in a case that we never should have gone in that did it.

Now in fairness, we lost the case on the merits, the District Court nullified the patent and then take our lumps as what we knew that we could when we went.? No complaints.

Not happy with his win, our adversaries moved fees.? Once again, any complaint that is their right to apply.

What find me amusing is that our opponents selected reject our early offer a solution "to stand", decided to a desperate appeal fee District Court's denial, and - most find - traveled to 3000 miles each way to deliver an oral argument useless 15 minutes against an opponent that wasn't even there.? (Us, being the wastrels we are chosen to waive oral argument and rest in our brief.)

Therefore, you have it.? A company headquartered in every hour will happily spend thousands of dollars of money from its customers to travel 3000 miles to argue against an empty chair, but it is that the boys of tariff quotas that are driving up the costs of litigation.

Yes, really someone should do something about us.

Personal Injury Attorney? Protect yourself from insurance adjusters

When it comes to selecting a personal injury attorney, this is what every victim needs to know.

Firstly, it is important to you with a personal injury lawyer before you speak with someone from the insurance company. But, you also need to know where a good personal injury lawyer (and where you need to avoid). Finally, once you have your personal injury lawyer is selected, you should be prepared to discuss the payment for the services of the lawyer.

Read this article to learn how to maintain a personal injury lawyer before you have to speak with a representative of the insurance company. You can only save yourself a lot of money.

Be careful or unscrupulous Insurance adjusters

Expect the employee of an insurance company very back to you shortly after you're involved in an accident.

He will probably appear to be very friendly and state that he is only "wants to get certain information" or to "take care of you." In reality you should be aware that the adjuster for the insurance company works and his sole responsibility is to see that the company all personal injury claims for the minimal amount settles.

So, if you try to make your claim with the insurance regulator on your own, you can expect some common insurance tactics including:

1. you will be required to submit to multiple studies by the assurance undertaking's choice of doctors

2. you have to walk around and get multiple estimates for damage

3. you will be asked a written or recorded statement.

Of these tactics are meant to wear you down and you get to settle the claim and go away. Even worse, all insurance experts know that many personal injury not until months after the accident manifest. If you have a statement early, you can omit certain injuries.

As a result, the insurance company you are "locked."

How to select an accident Attorney

The first, and most important piece of advice is to avoid personal injury attorneys who advertise heavily on television. This is especially true when you are working with a loved one who is killed in an accident and you're looking for a wrongful death attorney.

These lawyers working on volume and, as such, you'll want to arrange your case quickly and move on. Worse still, many of these lawyers have no intention to represent you at all. Instead, they want to refer you to another lawyer and collecting a referral fee for their efforts. A better way to a personal injury lawyer is a reference from a friend or family member. Do you have a family lawyer, make a point to speak with him or her before a personal injury lawyer.

But it does not stop there.

Once you have selected an accident Attorney, it is important to find out how you are going to pay for his services.

Attorneys ' fees in a personal injury lawsuit

One of the most common questions raised by victims is how they will pay the lawyer for the services provided.

In the United States most personal injury lawyers on a contingency fee basis. This means that the lawyer invests his time and the costs of litigation in exchange for a percentage of the recovery if the case is settled or won during the process. This arrangement can every American have access to the best legal talent available.

The lawyer will only offer to take the case, however, on a contingency fee if he or she considers that the case has a good potential for economic recovery. Where the result is less than certain, that the lawyer would be able to offer to the matter on the basis of amended contingency fees. In this case, the customer the cost of litigation (or a percentage of the cost) invest.

If the case is completed, the client will receive the cost back and the lawyer a percentage of the proceeds as a fee. Under this scheme must be of the lawyer percentage less because he was not accepted all of the risk.

Contact an Injury Attorney asked after you have been injured

Now, you'll see what I mean about selecting a personal injury attorney immediately after you are injured.

You can bet that the defendant insurance company work and diligently to reduce or eliminate their liability. Selecting a personal injury attorney early is the best way to protect your interests. Don't worry about payment. If your case has merit, find a reputable personal injury attorney probably the case on a contingency fee basis. So, select a competent personal injury lawyer now and protect your rights.

You will be able to pay later.

get the sense that the patent system faces serious problems these days?

When I came to this game in 1983, the formed Federal Circuit then newly would bring consistency, predictability and respectability even for the patent system. And did — for a while.

In the former Chief Judge Markey, the Federal Circuit decisions made sense. Requested, and depended upon written statutes - you know, the type actually passed by Congress and signed by the President and all. Addressed important issues of patent law and provide clear, practical answers that could be understood and applied in the future. (Always does not agree with them, but at least could understand and apply). And, most importantly, the decisions seem to be part of a real effort to build a body of coherent, viable and just law to resolve disputes fairly and to promote innovation as envisaged by the Constitution.

However, in recent years, I asked if we are going forward or backward. Is just me, or is any other going crazy trying to figure out what you are doing the Federal Circuit?

The good news is that the Supreme Court has taken the case of eBay and granted cert. The question, as I understand it, is whether courts should automatically to grant permanent cessation when the infringement is. Personally, I think that they should – exclusive use is the essence of any property rights. But the true meaning is the Supreme Court will to provide oversight on the Federal Circuit.

Recently also submitted a request for a certificate in the case of Phillips. Dennis Crouch has a copy of the petition on his patently-O blog. It is interesting to read. I hope sincerely, that the Supreme Court has been the case. The reality that any three judge panel of the Federal circuit effectively you can override the factual findings of a lower court without showing no clear error and simply because the panel wants a different result is contrary to the idea that we are a nation of laws. Request, in what I consider a courageous step, really notes that having appropriated by itself the sole power ultimately deciding what patent claims half, the Federal Circuit is unlikely self-employed to renounce energy - hence the need for intervention by the Court of justice. (I love when other people have the courage to say what the rest of us!) The idea of claim construction is only one question of law lacks fundamentals in fact is a farce and a fraud and should be discarded. (In my opinion, is also contrary to the seventh amendment, but that is another matter.) (And Yes, I am aware that the Supreme Court in Markman says otherwise).

Finally, in my own way smaller, than to me, on behalf of one of the clients, who seek banc review [Download file] of an adverse ruling last month I have received from the Federal Circuit. In this case, the Federal Circuit shot one of our patent claims as devoid of written description while everything indisputably described the elements themselves claim and claim itself was a claim filed originally was permitted and issued without amendments. I am certain bias, but I sincerely believe that the federal circuit ruling can simply cannot be reconciled with prior precedent of ACFA, arguing that had originally filed claims automatically satisfy the requirement of the written description and "nothing more is required". See in re Gardner, 475 F.2d 1389, 1391 (ACFA 1973). The good news is that the request does not have been denied summarily as usual. The Federal Circuit has sought and received a response from my worthy opponents. To date, there has been no decision yet envelope if the request should be granted. Since the current legislation on the "written description" requirement is, to put it politely, confused, I hope the Court will soon have the matter up in banc, preferably in my case, but if not so in another.

Patents understandable?

Published on June 2, 2005 by Philip Mann

Dennis Crouch asks why so many patents appear indecipherable and what can be done about it? Good questions of fact.

Always willing to speak the truth, however unpleasant which can be, I am here to give my answers.

In reality, this is only a variant of the old question what supposedly lawyers affable written to the intricate, despair is made. The answer is that the bitter experience required.

Note: write a simple contract in which Bob Jones undertakes to sell their house and Fred Smith undertakes to buy it. All s up to Bob says that "House" does not include the not connected garage - and the Court agrees. (Hmmm, better articulate clearly next time...) Later, someone says that "House" and "garage" do not include the tree house in the back yard - and again the Court agrees. You get the idea. Nothing changes when patents - prudence are involved and bitter experience we recommend better articulate things in detail.

To also travel you.

The dirty secret little processing of patents is clear declarations in a patent application are anathema and the clear sign of a rookie Editor. The rules are legion: "Never use the word 'invention'." "Never say 'it'." "Cannot call a resistance resistance - call it 'a means of impedance' instead." The ironic joke is that the language used in patents is supposed to be of people "specialized in the art", but never once heard an engineer real call for "a means of impedance" or suggest replacing the "active element which preferably, but not necessarily, takes the form of a terminal three semiconductor or similar device."

The real blame lies not tax patents but with a judiciary that, on the one hand, says it is fully able to decide cases very technical, but on the other it refuses to develop skills required to do so. That the courts can one to think that manganese and magnesium are the same, and add 2 more 3 is somehow completely and materially different than adding 3 more 2, lawyers, with the full support of your customers continue to do so. And those who have learned the most difficult of what can happen when naively assume common sense way prevail, soon learn not to make the same mistake twice. The result is the ineffable Twaddle which now passes through the "full, clear, concise and exact terms" in required by law. The courts simply do not require clarity and punished when it appears.

On a related topic, why are still the rule without regard to patent claim should be a single sentence? (And Yes, I am aware of that is supposed to be the object of a sentence, beginning "claim...") no would be far better to a patent owner simply say paragraph, as "my invention is this"? This includes. Does not include. The technique that has this State is different. Do you believe that these be equivalent.? "? Why insists in the Office of patents in a dark probably ceased to make little sense once was always adopted rule has left me baffled.?
