EFF's Defend Innovation project is already
at the forefront of patent reform. Defend Innovation promotes seven fixes for
America's patent system, including shortening the term for software patents,
allowing winning parties in litigation to recover fees and costs, and protecting
inventors who independently arrive at a patented idea. Defend Innovation joins
EFF's other longstanding work in the patent space, such as its Patent Busting
Project and its involvement in patent litigation.
"Patent controversies
dominated technology news this year, and now more than ever, it's clear that
something needs to change," said EFF Executive Director Shari Steele. "We are so
honored that these two inventors came to us separately with their contributions
and their confidence, and we're excited about fixing software patents." [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
