Foreign Glee
Manufacturers in foreign countries,
particularly export engines China and India, are savoring the prospect of the Patent Reform Act of 2007 becoming law, particularly
provision for cheap post-grant assault, as it entangles patent holders with
invalidity challenges at no risk and at lower cost than litigation. The
Economic Times gives Indian drug companies a heads-up that "patent reform is
beneficial to Indian companies, as they are usually not patent holders, and are
often excluded from the US market by the threat from weak patents."
