FEDERAL COURTS CRUSH INVENTORS

Global corporations want free labor, free materials, and free patents. That is what they pay Congress, lawyers, and the courts to get. The Constitutional patent system has been dead for some time now. While the independent inventor may have an important patent, going to court against the globals is financial destruction and bankruptcy while hack lawyer-judges quickly save global infringers from paying royalties. The method is standard: summary judgment of patent invalidity on old prior art, easily provided by the globals and argued by their lawyers. The infringement claim against the globals never gets heard because proving infringement of a patent by the global's new current art disproves invalidity of the same patent on old prior art. The system is clearly rigged to benefit the globals. This happens notwithstanding the fact that the Supreme Court tells us that, in patent cases, a court's jurisdiction rests on the patent owner's claim of patent infringement and not on the alleged corporate infringer's defense of patent invalidity. Christianson v. Colt Industries (1988) 108 SCt 2166, 100 LEd2d 811. Nevertheless, prostitution of the law is common in the courts since their decisions are not likely to be reviewed unless they involve the interests of the politically connected globals or are in the public eye. Even on the merits of the global's defenses of patent invalidity, court decisions are willfully wrong as judges cherry-pick their jurisdiction, facts and law, to formulate their opinions favoring the globals. They simply ask the globals to prepare and then rubberstamp facts and law written up by the global's politically connected attorneys. Few individual inventors succeed in federal courts. See cases in http://www.ipcreators.org/SC/Kearns/kearns_amicus.htm. Even employed inventors must assign their patents to the globals as a condition of employment-servitude. Independent and working inventors have been crushed by this hated discretionary system. The Supreme Court is never around when the inventor needs it.[1] The globals have won the patent wars against inventors and all others who still believe the Constitution guarantees their rights. Legislators and judges now write and interpret the laws favoring the globals.Under these circumstances, with no illusion that change is possible, the American way to respond is to attack the corporate system at its weakest points, on its Constitutional foundations, by pointing out the Patent Office inability to secure Constitutional patent rights to individuals.
