8/9/2015

Washington D.C. - According to the Economist, "IN 1970 the United States recognised the potential of crop science by broadening the scope of patents in agriculture. Patents are supposed to reward inventiveness, so that should have galvanised progress. Yet, despite providing extra protection, that change and a further broadening of the regime in the 1980s led neither to more private research into wheat nor to an increase in yields. Overall, the productivity of American agriculture continued its gentle upward climb, much as it had before."

6/22/2015

Washington D.C. - Four years ago, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) advocated for an idea that is now drawing attention on Capitol Hill: "patent boxes."

Washington D.C. - Michael Rosen of the American Enterprise Institute  highlighted the 225th anniversary of the enactment of the first-ever American patent statute, which President George Washington signed into law on April 10, 1790. "Back in those days, the president himself affixed his dramatic signature to the very first 'letters patent': Samuel Hopkins’s “Improvement,” which consisted of “the making of Pot ash and Pearl ash by a new Apparatus and Process,” an invention our nation’s father personally deemed to be “in pursuance of the act, entitled ‘An Act to promote the Progress of useful Arts.’”
