The IP World Is Shrinking (But We Already Knew That)

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Rajiv Sarathy

Last, week, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a press release indicating that it had "hosted a two-day meeting with representatives from Asia-Pacific economies to discuss the importance and future of substantive patent law harmonization."

Next month, Commissioner Robert Stoll will be speaking at a conference in Bangalore, India.  When I spoke at an International Technology Law Association's conference in the same city last month, I was surprised to see so many practitioners from the United States as well as several European and Asian jurisdictions -- both speaking and attending.

Many countries -- including the United States -- are attempting to harmonize patent laws, and these cross-jurisdictional meeting opportunities facilitate that goal.
