Certain patent issues, such as decisions against eBay and RIM, can impact the everyday lives of ordinary people. Much of the discussion about patent reform has ignored key realities, such as the diversion of fees from the Patent Office to general revenue. Proposed reforms of continuation practice neglect to demonstrate that the reform, if implemented, would solve the acknowledged problem, the increasing backlog of unexamined applications at the Patent Office. Unless some resolution is implemented, the number of patent cases having potentially dramatic impact on the general population is likely to increase.

Patent Mapping
Patent landscape mapping (PLM) is a tool to analyze existing IP to determine the risks and opportunities of participating in a given technology and/or product space. It describes the technologies and alternative solutions that have been applied to a particular product category. PLM identifies competitors based on their issued and filed IP, and outlines their strategies, strengths and problem-solving approaches. PLM enables a company's scientific and commercial management teams to identify the best opportunities for investment in a selected product area, to create a strategy to protect their IP, and to establish differentiation with respect to their competitors.
