In 1870, a man claimed Margaret E. Knight couldn’t have made her invention. She challenged him and won.

There are few things that are more triggering for me than to have a client ask that I just sign and file a response that they drafted themselves. I understand that they think it will save money, but it won't.
First, I can virtually guarantee that what they wrote won't accomplish what they think it will - this is a fiendishly complicated field, loaded with arcana and esoterica. It takes a long time to learn how to do the job correctly.
Second, I simply can't. I have to draft everything I sign because my signature means something very specific under US Federal Regulations:

Clerq's framing shift matters: from selling software tools to delivering work under professional direction. This positions AI as a junior associate replacement, not just a research aid. Watch whether courts or bar associations scrutinize the attorney's actual review burden. https://www.implicator.ai/clerq-ai-patentability-reports-10-minutes/ #AI #Patents #LegalTech

Clerq, a Toronto startup, launched patentability analysis software claiming 10-minute turnarounds for full reports with attorney review. The catch: no independent verification of speed or accuracy yet, and USPTO rules keep legal responsibility squarely on the reviewing lawyer. https://www.implicator.ai/clerq-ai-patentability-reports-10-minutes/ #AI #Patents #LegalTech

History remembers the inventor with the patent, the money and the institution behind them—not always the person who got there first.
From Edison and RCA to Colossus, Margaret Knight and the Invention Secrecy Act, this is how genius gets captured, commercialised and rewritten.

I posted this about a year ago. Might be a good time to repost it.
"Search With Stateful Chat" patent (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240289407A1/en ) - appears to describe the Gemini app for smartphones.
"Method for Text Ranking with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250124067A1/en ) - documents an experimental process described in this research paper titled "Large Language Models are Effective Text Rankers with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.17563 ). There is no indication this was introduced into a live agentic system like Gemini.
"User Embedding Models for Personalization of Sequence Processing Models" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2025102041A1/en ) - documents an experimental process for improving recommender (sub-)systems (like movie searches) that incorporate large language models. The process is described in this research paper titled "User Embedding Model for Personalized Language Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.04858 ).
"Systems and methods for prompt-based query generation for diverse retrieval" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2024064249A1/en ) - updates a 2022 patent for a process named PROMPTAGATOR that generates queries more efficiently based on a small number of examples, as described in this research paper titled "Promptagator - Few-shot Dense Retrieval from 8 Examples" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.11755 ). This could be used to generate query fan-outs (but query fan-out has been used in multiple systems at least since the 1990s, so there are many implementations).
"Instruction Fine-Tuning Machine-Learned Models Using Intermediate Reasoning Steps" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240256965A1/en ) - documents an older method for fine-tuning instructions submitted to LLMs, as described in this 2022 research paper titled "Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models" (Cf. https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume25/23-0870/23-0870.pdf ). The work has been superseded by this paper titled "Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning: A Winning Combination for Large Language Models" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14705 ).
This is the AI Overviews patent, titled "Generative summaries for search results" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US11769017B1/en )

🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial
O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat.
💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru?
🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere:
Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete.🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux:
Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe.🔍 Clarificare importantă:
• Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid).
• NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active.Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬

The last patents for the Moving Picture Experts Group MPEG-4, Part 2, Visual (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_2) have expired today. This is exciting news for software developers and open source projects, even though it won't immediately change the way we watch videos day-to-day. Although the MPEG develops the technical standards, the patents are managed by companies such as Sony and Panasonic.

“Meta has filed a patent for a system that records your voice and surroundings all day, then uses an AI to analyse your mood. The patent’s stated, theoretical goal is for Meta, a company that makes billions of dollars targeting ads at its users based on their data, is to sell users a wearable that tailors workouts for them based on whether they’re happy or sad.
Patentlyze first noticed the patent which was published on July 2 after Meta filed it back in December of 2025. The filing described an “apparatus” that surveilled a user and their surroundings constantly to craft a better workout. “The audible communications may be associated with contextual factors such as time of day, location, user activity, or digital interaction,” the patent said. “The audible communications may be transcribed, and an emotional-state machine learning model may interpret verbal and nonverbal cues to determine emotional indicators.””

No. Wrong answer. Unless the companies are willing to sign over all ownership of the #Patents to the government. #Food belongs to the people, not to companies, and #GMO #Privatizes food. So no. Wrong #Technology. We do not submit to #Oligarch ownership of food.

it's worse than i expected, btw. MP4/H.254/H.265 videos are all i can get from many open-sourcey social media sites, including #Mastodon, #PeerTube, #Invidious.
(some may offer their instance-owners to change the default media format, but i have not encountered such an instance)
it sucks. when did everyone start believing that relying patented codecs was okay?
and you *can* just offer both, if you cant live without supporting old apple devices or whatever.

Perlmutter Tells SCOTUS Trump is Making ‘An Inexcusable Mess’ of Library of Congress Governance – IPWatchdog.com -Patents & Intellectual Property Law

Perlmutter Tells SCOTUS Trump is Making ‘An Inexcusable Mess’ of Library of Congress Governance
“The question here is not whether the Register of Copyrights or the Librarian of Congress has any functions that can be characterized as ‘executive’ for constitutional purposes; it is whether Congress decided to organize the Library as an ‘Executive agency’”.
Photo from article…Two weeks after the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay an interlocutory injunction issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, in September that allowed Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter to return to her post pending her lawsuit against President Donald Trump for allegedly illegally removing her from office, Perlmutter has responded.
In her opposition to the application for a stay, filed on Monday, Perlmutter accused the administration of making “an inexcusable mess of Congress’s plans for the governance of its Library.”
Trump’s application argued that the D.C. appellate court’s injunction represents “another case of improper judicial interference with the President’s power to remove executive officers” and that its “analysis contravenes settled precedent and misconceives the Librarian’s and Register’s legal status.” The powers of the Librarian and Register have been classified as executive by the Supreme Court, said the administration’s brief, “such as the power to issue rules implementing a federal statute, to issue orders in administrative adjudications, and even to conduct foreign relations relating to copyright issues.”
But Perlmutter argued in her opposition that “the question here is not whether the Register of Copyrights or the Librarian of Congress has any functions that can be characterized as ‘executive’ for constitutional purposes; it is whether Congress decided to organize the Library as an ‘Executive agency’—not just for purposes of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 (“FVRA”), 5 U.S.C. § 3345 et seq., but for all of the purposes for which the same definition of “Executive agency” is used in Title 5, 5 U.S.C. § 105.”
