With Oil States now history........it appears that Justice Gorsuch was the only one to read my post:>))
To the ladies & gentlemen , that sit on the highest court of these United States, in their splendid black robes, treated a level or two less than deities ,you wasted a lot of time and other people's money today. I wasn't there and IANAL but it seems to me that based on what has been reported as fact and knowledgeable peoples opinions, most of you are totally missing the point. I am a strong proponent of the KISS theory of law , which really hasn't caught on in this country, can't imagine why, but it could have something to do with charging $1,000+ hourly rates. In any case, see if this helps Citizen X awakes from a sound sleep a few nights after Thanksgiving with a brilliant idea. He is excited and can't wait to share his thoughts so he turns to his wife. Mrs. Citizen X wake up, I have a brilliant solution to solving the world's energy problems. What is it she exclaims. Well ever since our Thanksgiving dinner I've been thinking that your mother's gravy has something magical about it. If I can find the proper catalyst to blend it with I may have solved the secret of cold fusion! Unlimited energy for the world. Yeah right says Mrs Citizen X and goes back to sleep. The next morning, Citizen X decides to become Citizen Inventor X and embarks on a quest to prove his idea. After spending $500,000+, many sleepless nights, missing untold number of family events and trying every conceivable liquid from apple vinegar cider to soy milk to blend with his MIL's gravy he finally, after 10 long years, reaches the EUREKA moment. To shorten this story a bit, after spending another $240,000 on patent attorneys and 7 years waiting it out, he finally is issued a patent for his idea and invention. In the meantime, a clueless bunch of elected officials. doing the bidding of the some of the giants of the industry,including the likes of KO and PEP passes a bill the CSNIA (Citizens Should Not Invent Anything) and poof his patent is challenged. A stacked PTAB panel doesn't help matters, obviously. You guessed it, his patent is ruled invalid. So what do we have? After some 20+ years a very disillusioned citizen turned inventor vowing to never wake his wife from a sound sleep again. And his MIL's gravy? That will only be used to enhance the taste of fowl. Can you see the message , ladies and gentlemen? Multiply Citizen X's experience by several ten's of thousands Americans whose patents could be invalidated in the coming years and soon, no one will be waking up with a brilliant idea and that will be very bad for the United States. My advice to you is to sh*t can all the Oil States briefs, gather around a round table, those long benches do not promote dialogue, send out for coffee, and use some common sense. |
