Register for the 2026 LeadershIP conference!
On 3/25, #policymakers and industry leaders will gather to discuss some of the most pressing #IP-related topics.
Speakers include C4IP Co-Chair and former #USPTO Director Andrei Iancu, as well as C4IP Board Member and former Federal Judge Paul Michel.
The claim that #patent abuse delays #generic entry and therefore drives up drug costs is false.
In fact, a #USPTO study indicates no correlation between the total number of #patents for a product and the length of exclusivity.
Get the facts:
Recently, we co-hosted a virtual roundtable on the administration's #intellectualproperty and #trade policy, featuring #USPTO Deputy Director Coke Stewart, Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Rick Switzer, C4IP Co-Chair Andrei Iancu, and former Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Jeffrey Gerrish.

"Simply quantifying raw numbers of #patents and exclusivities is an imprecise way to measure the #intellectualproperty landscape of a drug product."
This finding from a #USPTO study contradicts claims that these companies unfairly "game" the patent system to prolong market exclusivity.

DYK? The narrative that the #UnitedStates has a problem with low-quality #patents was thoroughly debunked by a Sunwater Institute study. 📔
It found that the overall quality of patents was very high and that the #USPTO did better at weeding out low-quality patents than our global peers.
Patent illustrations aren’t optional.
They’re essential to protecting your invention.
Clear drawings = clearer claims = stronger patents.
Before filing, make sure your idea is illustrated correctly.

So-called "secondary" #patents definitionally represent additional, real #innovations; for instance, a time-release function could reduce the chance of an adverse reaction.
After all, the #USPTO only grants patents to #inventions that are novel, useful, and non-obvious.

And of course, they still seem to not care that I’m desperately trying to get out of my paralegal position into a proper legal job.
I’m sick of this crud and bull. If I have to do this come February, I’d seriously consider quitting. #uspto #usgov 5/
#DYK? A recent #USPTO analysis showed how simply counting granted #patents provides no meaningful insight into the scope of a product's patent protection, its period of market exclusivity, or the timeline for #generic competition.
