Patent Classification - a personal view point
Dr. Shmuel Ur
IBM Research Labs at Haifa, Israel


Trends in the Patents System

After receiving the title of IBM Master Inventor I have been asked to
give a short presentation the Haifa Research Lab on a subject that has
to do with patents. I have decided to give a presentation on my personal
classification of patents.

This presentation will be  on trends I see which transform the patent
system into a burden on the IT industry.  In it I will explain the
theoretical motivation behind the patent system and how the changes in
the judicial system, mainly in the USA, are changing it from the
original intent into a burden.    While the talk represent my personal
views, the same views are being shared by many others.  Currently the
legal overhead to the medical system in the USA is about a third of the
total cost, I fear the IT industry is heading in the same direction, and
fast.
