Patent Reform Readings

For something else I’ve been working on, some readings on first-to-file versus first-to-invent and patent reform.

• Novelty and disclosure in patent law, Rand Journal
• The end of the first-to-invent rule: A concise history of its origin, IDEA – The Intellectual Property Law Review
• From first-to-invent to first-to-file, the Canadian experience, American Intellectual Property Law Association
• U.S. inventors on their markets for race to patent office, New Scientist
