More on Patent Searches
|
Greg Aharonian's latest Internet Patent News Service has the results of his query about the advisability of doing patent searches:
Second, with regards to the question: do companies have little to fear from triple damage if they build patent databases of their industry (which would include patents from their competitors), 50% said YES and 50% said MAYBE. This is an interesting shift, because in years past the results of my survey were more 33% YES, 33% NO, 33% MAYBE. That is, companies should be more willing to build such databases. It also has a long letter from a thoughtful practitioner on how to improve patent quality. It was written anonymously, since the author has a few bad words for PTO, and no desire to see his every future application stamped "rejected."
