World patent system circa 20XX, A.D
Article Abstract:
Efficiency in the protection of intellectual property will assume a new dimension of importance in the 21st century. The key task will be the establishment of a truly global patent system, serving the needs of multinational research-based industries as well as small, independent inventors at a cost that will promote rather than hindering the development of inventions. This system will have the best chance of being excepted if it provides dividends both to the leading developedm countries as well as those just developing market economies.

The judicial errors that brought us to FESTO
Article Abstract:
The doctrine of equivalents in patent law has been consistently narrowed by successive court decisions, most recently Festo Corp. v. Shoketsu Kinzoku Kogyo Kabushiki Co. This trend can be traced back to a pronouncement made by Federal Circuit Judge Rich in Wilson Sporting Goods Co. v. David Geoffrey & Associates. Rich's limitation, however, was based on a misinterpretation of patent law.
