Wikipedia for Patents
| |
| John Funk, an entrepreneur (I’m an investor in John’s newest company – Evergreen IP) and friend has a innovative proposal up concerning changing the rules on the current patent system. I’ve been on both sides of the patent aisle with John – we like to joke that early on in our relationship John’s company sued one of my companies (and then my company sued John’s company back) for patent infringement (the companies settled several years later for a cross license and $1 – much to the delight of the lawyers who got all the bucks.) Fortunately we got past all that crap and have developed a nice friendship. |

Bye Bye Business Method Patents
| |
| While it's not over yet as the Supreme Court might weight in, the Federal Court Kills Patents on Business Methods.

Software Patents: Time for a Change
| |
| I always advise software startups to file patents to protect their “secret sauce” from competitors, and to increase their valuation. I don’t have much conviction that it really does stop competitors, but I do know the rule of thumb that every patent will add $1M to your startup valuation for investors, or for M&A exits (merger and acquisition). Yet the software patent process is a mess. I say this with conviction even after I survived the process, and have a software patent pending.
