Roundup of This Week’s Patent News: January 24 Edition

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court decided Medtronic, one of the six patent cases this term, and reversed the Federal Circuit yet again.

This week also brought an update on Rockstar’s patent activities, as Joe Mullin reported on Ars Technica.

And there was a great op-ed in the Las Vegas Review-Journal that concluded: “This is a jobs bill. And patent trolls are effectively a tax. What is the Senate waiting for?”

Agreed!  We hope to have more information for you soon on the Senate’s patent reform bills.  In the meantime, remember that we keep Patent Progress’s Guide to Patent Reform Legislation up-to-date.
