Patent Poetry Contest
I can tell that stakeholders in the patent reform debate have gotten antsy since the House passed its legislation and the Patent and Trademark Office released new continuation rules. How do I know? Intellectual property blog Phosita has unveiled a poetry contest where readers can submit their own colorful patent prose.
When the five-day competition ends, subscribers will be able to cast their votes to determine which poet will be named winner. Here's the first entry:
Lamentations of the Nonobvious
Sitting, waiting in anticipation,
In the distance, my Outlook® chimes,
Finalized rules on continuations,
Sixteen independents can be a crime.
Fossiled past is now extinct,
For applications once thought united,
Replaced by thoughts of indistinct,
Claims 1 through 12 elect divided.
Voices sound from anxious sighing,
November One on the horizon,
The sounds of money chings from filing,
To keep your specs and claims from dying.
Fini
