I Heard it from the Horses Mouth – Attorney Michael Jakes Speaks on the Bilski Case Regarding Patentability of Business Methods and Processes
Awaiting my red-eye flight back home to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after attending a patenting symposium in San Francisco. I feel privileged to have had an opportunity to hear attorney Michael Jakes and his take on the Bilski case before the Supreme Court on the patentability of business methods. For the non-patent attorneys out there, the Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments on the patentability of business methods and processes and Michael Jakes is the attorney that filed the brief seeking certiori and argued before the Supreme Court on behalf of Bilski.

Automobile Patents – Eestor’s New Technology Under Scrutiny
As a Florida patent attorney, I take an interest in news regarding Florida patent disputes and recently posted a blog regarding a Florida patent infringement lawsuit against Toyota over the Florida patent on electtric drive motor technology. It seems the patenting of automobile innovations is in the spotlight again with Eester’s innovative new ultracapacitor. Considering the thousands of inventions getting patents issued by the U.S. patent office each year, EEStor‘s technology for replacement of electrochemical batteries is one of the latest hooplas to join the league. The invention is expected to bring an end to the internal combustion engine, as mentioned in an article in www.technewsworld.com EEStor’s new product is essentially a material compressed between thousands of

John Rizvi Presenting “Patenting Pitfalls” to General Practice Attorneys
On October 16th, 2009 South Florida patent attorney, John Rizvi, will be giving a presentation entitled “Patent Pitfalls for the General Practitioner” at the 2009 Broward County Bench-Bar Convention held at the Broward County Convention Center in Ft.

Even if these general practitioners ultimately refer the matter to a patent attorney, John believes there is still a need for such non-specialists to be aware of certain statutory deadlines and other pitfalls of practice in the specialized area of patent law. The Broward County Bench-Bar Association has been working diligently t
