Dear Peter, (01)
Agreed re the FTF vs FTI. The many inventors I
know are upset about this new law, and working
hard to reverse it, so perhaps that will be
changed. But it will take years. (02)
The motivation for FTF was that it fits with the
international patent treaty (PCT) agreements in
force in other countries. It also wreaks fewer
wrinkles in litigation because the facts do not
include "intention", which is so hard to prove or
disprove, and for which every inventor is
convinced he "intended" the invention exactly one
year before he filed it. FTF clears up a lot of
those debatable points, but has lots of drawbacks
compared to FTI. (03)
Yet the US has been more prolific in invention
than any other country using FTI for 200+ years,
and the statistics for countries (e.g. Canada)
that have changed from FTI to FTF are not good.
This could hamper innovation efforts in many
fields. (04)
Sincerely,
Rich Cooper

[ppy] while I totally admire the way they have
executed it, and am
happy for the Apple/Siri folks for finally
bringing ontology and
semantic technology to the mass market with such
fanfare ... I am, at
the same time, saddened by the fact that we (in
the US) too, are now
under a "first to file" patent regime (and that
"first to invent" is
no longer relevant!) (08)
