The Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) has released its written decision in G 2/21 on the question of post-published evidence. In G 2/21 , the EBA consciously avoids the rabbit hole of plausibility, dismissing it as a generic catch word that does not amount to a distinctive legal concept. For the EBA, the substantive question at the heart of G 2/21 is a familiar one that needs no reference to plausibility.

Perhaps after their favorite theory was blown apart again, as it has been every time it’s been trotted out over the past 20 years, the critics of the Bayh-Dole Act learned a painful lesson. Their carefully constructed thesis that the law contains a hidden provision allowing the government to set prices on successfully commercialized products has been summarily rejected by every Democratic or Republican Administration which has considered it.

The InterPlanetary File System, more broadly known as IPFS , has been around for a few years now. While the name may sound a little alien to the public at large, the peer-to-peer file storage network has a growing user base among the tech-savvy. In short, IPFS is a decentralized network where users make files available to each other. A website using IPFS is served by a “swarm” of users in much the same way BitTorrent users share content with each other.

For well over a year, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and some members of Congress have engaged in a campaign to urge the Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to break patents on pharmaceuticals to lower drug prices by invoking a century-old statute, Title 28 of the U.S. Code 1498. This is their “game plan”: HHS should contract with generic drug companies willfully to infringe pharmaceutical patents, thereby requiring any damages to be paid from public funds.

The “simple version” of the effect of the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 , which is the one I’ve generally gone with, is as follows: Copyright terms for US works were extended by 20 years. In the ordinary case, that amendment to the US copyright statute extended terms to life-plus-70 years. For works that fall into the category of “anonymous or pseudonymous works or works made for hire,” the general terms were extended from 75 years from date of publication to 95 years.
