Patent Reform Act of 2007 LawFlash from Morgan Lewis

I want to recommend the September 13, 2007 publication of the “Morgan Lewis Intellectual Property LawFlash.” It does an excellent job in summarizing the main provisions of the Bill that is to become the Patent Reform Act of 2007 after the House vote on this Bill (as amended). The Senate Judiciary Committee started out with an identical version, but the House has since adopted a number of amendments. It is unclear when the Senate will vote on its version of the bill.
As most of our readers know, the Patent Reform Act of 2007, if adopted, will make substantial changes in the way one applies for, manages and exploits, and challenges patents.
Rather than summarize here what those changes are, let me refer you to the Morgan Lewis intellectual property lawflash, which tells it like it is.
This “lawflash” was reproduced in the Lexology newsletter, which I find to be a very informative if sometimes repetitive newsletter. You can subscribe to it free of charge here.
