If you plan to fly American Airlines this month, or United Airlines in November or December, check out Sky Radio's series "Special Tribute to America's Best Lawyers." One of these programs features an interview with TechnoLawyer member and intellectual property lawyer Jeff Sheldon about the current state of the US patent system.
"During the interview I discuss what is wrong with our current patent system", said Jeff. "I opine that Congress should stop diverting user fees from the Patent Office so that the Patent Office can hire better and more examiners. I also spoke in favor of changing the current standard relating to the amount of evidence needed to invalidate a patent."
If you aren't lucky enough to catch this broadcast in-flight, you can listen to the interview online.
Jeff is founding partner of Sheldon & Mak, an IP law firm located in Pasadena, California. Aside from practicing all aspects of IP law, he authored the book How to Write a Patent Application, and writes a frequent e-mail newsletter called Tips from Jeff Sheldon, in which he discusses recent IP news.
