Patent reform is a concern and as concerned citizens/inventors/entrepreneurs we should be writing our Senators to make them aware that we do NOT support S.1145, as some have already done. I am not a politician, lobbyist, patent lawyer, etc, rather like you, I am simply invested in PTSC, and I want to protect it as best I can. After reading this board, listening to Mr. Leckrone at the last SHM, and staying abreast as best I can on Patent Reform, I decided to try and do something that will help our cause. It doesn’t replace all of the letters/emails we should continue to send our elected officials, rather just another approach I devised that may or may not help, but it is simple.

Visit the blog I created at:

http://www.patentreformblog.com/

Simply scroll down to the bottom and add a comment, “I do not support S.1145”. I recommend that you also include your first name and the state you reside. You don’t have to, matter of fact, the form allows you to post anonymously, so please don’t include your email or anything, it isn’t required and I don’t want it. Once we have a substantial # of comments on this blog, I will send an email to ALL US Senators asking them to take a look at this blog to see how their constituents feel about S1145.

Like I said, it may or may not make an impact, but it is simple, so if it changes the vote for just one US Senator, than I feel the time spent was well worth it. Please feel free to share this on other boards.

Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs!
