I'd like to draw your attention to Dennis Crouch's latest posting on Patenly O, presenting an actual estimation of waiting times for a first USPTO Office Action .

Prof. John F. Duffy analyses at Patently-O the probable position of the USPTO towards software patents as presented in a series of cases. Specifically, patentable subject matter must result in a physical transformation of an article that is tied to a particular machine.

25 search engines, 30 blogs, most PTO’s of the world, and many resources

ophir@patentim.com — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 11:53:19 +0100

Continuing on Zeev Fisher’s post from January 12, 2008, I’d like to share my pleasure of using Patent Pal. This toolbar holds approximately 25 search engines, 30 blogs, most PTO’s of the world and local information from many countries, as well as writing guides and exam tools. Using it as a standard tool simplifies much of the web related work of patent drafting (e.g. a direct connection to Public PAIR), and encourages getting to know new resources. The s [...]
