AUGUST 5, 2024

Kaijet highlights the narrowness of the pre-filing grace period (safe harbor) provision under the America Invents Act (AIA) and serves as a reminder that there are a number of patents that would have been valid under the pre-AIA patent system may no longer be valid under the current law. HyperDrive apparently embodies the claimed invention.

On September 16, 2011, President Obama signed the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (“AIA”). While the identity of the filing party must be disclosed, the use of an attorney allows the party-in-interest to remain confidential, with only the attorney and law firm’s name being disclosed.

IPilogue

JULY 9, 2021

I am working on the revised 3rd edition of my book on Intellectual Property Law (Irwin Law 2011, 2nd edition) , and with Professor Pina D’Agostino as co-author on the revision of the 2nd edition on Copyright Law (Irwin Law 2000). Some understanding of these rules, and where they differ between countries, is therefore desirable.
