Kappos Blogs

Posted on November 15, 2009 by Rajiv Sarathy

USPTO Director David Kappos started a blog this past week:  http://www.uspto.gov/blog/director/entry/director_s_forum_david_kappos.  In his first blog posting, he explains his reasons for preferring a first-to-file patent system:

The truth is that only .01 percent of all patent applications could be affected by a change to first inventor to file. The interference system is already biased in favor of the first inventor to file and 70 percent of the extremely small number of cases that get into the interference process are decided in favor of the first inventor to file.
