NAS Patent Reform Report due out early next week...

UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall is holding a Patent Reform Conference on 15, 16 April facilitated by the Federal Trade Commission, the National Academy of Sciences and the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. Much of the talk will surround the FTC's patent reform report and the NAS's patent reform report (which is due out at the beginning of next week; here's the statement of task).

With technology like on-line testing being patented (6,513,042), (which has vast quantities of prior art and obviousness) as well as cookies (6,714,926), I couldn't imagine a better time for such an confluence of constructive thought and criticism of the current system.
