To achieve patent commercialization success, every inventor must think like a business man
~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Patent Law cannot afford to sit and watch while technology advancement changes its dynamics
The Supreme Court is composed of two groups known as the Infallible Five and the Furious Four. The first group writes those majority decisions on patent law that have brought patent lawyers to their present condition. The second groups writes the dissenting opinions, trying to hold to the law as it was laid down by the first groups the week before. The composition of each group shifts from decision to decision, so that no one justice is right all the time. They sort of pass the infallibility around to keep peace in the family. -- The Improbable Profession
~ Leonard Lockhard
Abraham Lincoln said, Patents Add Fuel to the Fire of Genius. What the great man did not say is that Too Much Fuel Can Burn the Genius
Patents stand for you when everything else is lost
The strength of a patent doesn’t come from its claims, it comes from the invention
Patent Validity is a figment of legal interpretation, it can be contested, reversed and cancelled any time before expiry
Working a Patent is not as easy as it sounds
You can derive value from the Indian patent system, provided you know how it works. Stop cribbing about how it is not like another country’s system, and start thinking about how you can gain business value
We love patents, but not unconditionally;We believe in patents, but not mindlessly;We value patents, but not at the cost of our core values; andWe are serious about patents, but saving life always comes first
Grant is the beginning of the Patent Game, not its end.
Patents are not forever, but inventions are
A Patent is a Grant, but Inventorship is a Right
Patents need inventors more than inventors need patents
Inventors do not invent for financial gain, they invent simply because they love to invent
Inventions cannot be judged on patent parameters, but patents have the ability to take inventions very far
