      <image:title>News - USPTO Semiconductor Technology Pilot Program&amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>The USPTO has designed this program to support the CHIPS Act of 2022 (CHIPS), an executive order focused on improving the United States’ position in semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing. The new Pilot Program, effective immediately, is intended to bolster the objectives laid out in CHIPS by encouraging innovations that enhance semiconductor device production, reduce manufacturing costs, and strengthen the supply chain.  Based on statistics posted on the USPTO’s website, over the past two years, standard patent applications take nearly 21 months from their filing date before an Office Action is issued. For a final decision to be made on the patent application, you can expect to wait around 25 months from the date an application is filed.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Court addressed three main issues: (1) the scope and meaning of “inventor” in the 1977 Act, (2) was Dr. Thaler nevertheless the owner of any invention in any technical advance made by DABUS and entitled to apply for and obtain a patent in respect of it, and (3) was the Hearing Officer entitled to hold that the applications would be taken to be withdrawn.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - USPTO Welcomes Designers to the Bar</image:title>
      <image:caption>On November 16, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) officially published the final rule for “Representation of Others in Design Patent Matters Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.” (https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-25234.pdf) The final rule amends the rules of practice in patent cases and creates a new design patent practitioner bar (“design patent bar”), and becomes effective as of January 2, 2024. This change in the USPTO’s rules of practice expands patent practice to allow people with design-related degrees to join a new designation in the patent bar, design patent agents and design patent attorneys. Until now, only applicants who fulfilled specific scientific and technical requirements were eligible to take the patent bar, and successful applicants were granted the right to prepare and prosecute all types of patents – including utility patents, plant patents, and design patents – as patent attorneys and patent agents. With the creation of the design patent bar, the USPTO can grant applicants with design-related degrees the right to prepare and prosecute design patents only.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We previously released an article talking about Taco Bell’s cancellation proceeding to free TACO TUESDAY. We are happy to update you that TACO TUESDAY is finally free in all 50 states!     To provide some background information, Taco Bell filed two cancellation proceedings on May 16, 2023. Both cancellation proceedings were for registered trademarks, TACO TUESDAY covering restaurant services. One registered mark was owned by Taco John’s Seasonings Limited Partnership, who assigned their rights to Spicy Seasonings, LLC in 2020. Taco Johns’ trademark rights were nationwide, except for New Jersey. The second TACO TUESDAY trademark registration was owned by Gregory Hotel, Inc. This registration was geographically limited to consist solely of New Jersey. Once the petitions to cancel the registrations were filed, Taco Bell took to the media. They even got LeBron James to advocate for freeing Taco Tuesday.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Banana Duct-Taped to Wall Not Copyright Infringement</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2019 Maurizio Cattelan, a conceptual artist, created a work titled “Comedian,” which consisted of a banana duct-taped to a wall. He was sued by another conceptual artist, Joe Morford, who accused Cattelan of infringing the copyright on Morford’s word “Banana and Orange,” which depicted an artificial orange and an artificial banana duct-taped to pieces of green cardboard and mounted on a wall with masking tape. (The two works are depicted below.) Today a Federal Court in Florida dismissed the lawsuit, finding that Morford had not shown that Cattelan had access to Morford’s work, and that Cattelan’s work “Comedian” did not copy protectable elements of “Banana and Orange.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Do you ever wonder why pedestrians haphazardly dive out of your way while you careen around in racing games? You might be surprised to learn that Sega has a U.S. Patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,200,138) covering the idea of a “danger area” around the player in a driving game. If a virtual pedestrian enters the danger area, the patented game development causes the pedestrian to flee from the you to prevent racers hitting the pedestrian.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Why just play the game when you can be in the game? Eastman Kodak has a U.S. Patent (U.S. Patent 5,595,389) for forming a personalized video game where a user takes a picture of themselves, uploads the picture, and a “cut-out” of their head is pasted onto the video game character. In addition to being “uploaded” into a video game, the user can even print a hardcopy of their personalized video game character. Maybe to create a personalized video game case.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Do you ever get lost driving? Well, imagine getting lost while driving in a video game. You can’t exactly stop the car and get out to ask for directions. Luckily, Sega created, and patented, the idea of a giant arrow in the sky that point the player toward the target destination (U.S. Patent No. 6,200,138). This is the same patent as the “danger area,” so looks like Sega made sure to maximize each patent.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Even though Morgan had to quit school at a young age to work full-time, he was a prolific inventor and created multiple devices still used today in addition to the three-light traffic light. For instance, after a fire tore through a clothing company, Morgan was inspired to create a safety hood device, a precursor to the gas mask. Not but a few years later, Morgan was called upon by the city of Cleveland to rescue several men trapped below Lake Erie after striking an explosive pocket and surrounding them with carbon monoxide. Morgan and his brother, with their safety hoods, descended into the tunnel and rescued multiple workers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - 'Tis the Season for Innovation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Building a snowman always seems like a fun, charming activity until you get down to it – then it’s actually snowy labor. This delightful invention uses static electricity to cause “dry snow” to adhere to a round surface providing that all-important starting foundation. I would love to tell you how this invention works, but, even the inventor, Ignacio Marc Asperas, mentions that “[I]t is not exactly understood how these principles work. Faraday himself did many experiments with snow and, despite having discovered Faraday's law, even Faraday himself was unable to fully explain the physical nature of snow,” so I’ll just leave it at that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯</image:caption>
