Bar code industry wins case against Lemelson

A great parallel to the Acacia Saga about suing end users.

last paragraph:
"Some companies that have already paid fees to the Lemelson Foundation might have a claim to get their money back if they can prove they were fraudulently induced to pay, or if they specified they were paying in protest subject to the outcome of the Symbol/Cognex litigation. "

buh-bye.

I am beginning to track issues on US Patent Office Reform as well as European Patent Reform.

Europe is preparing major changes in its patent system. The European Patent Office (EPO) has proposed to remove limitations on patentability, such as the exclusion of computer programs in Art. 52 of the European Patent Convention (EPC).

Below are some links that I am using to do my research. Please feel free to email me, or provide feedback to me on links to other articles.
