Opponents of legislation that would overhaul the U.S. patent system have enlisted new allies who may cause majority Democrats in Congress to rethink their support of the proposals. Since late July, three labor unions -- the AFL-CIO, the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), and the United Steelworkers -- have sent letters to lawmakers saying they oppose two current patent reform bills. Patent reform opponents say they hope their alliance with organized labor, which has a long history of supporting Democrats, will stall the legislation. But representatives of large tech vendors that are pushing for patent reform say they're confident there will be support for the legislation when Congress returns from summer recess in early September. The committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives approved versions of a sweeping patent reform bill in July, and House leaders have targeted the patent reform bill for passage by the end of the year.

Cincinnati-based P&G said it filed a patent infringement suit in federal court in San Francisco. P&G claims Kraft's new Maxwell House can infringes on the design of P&G's 4-year-old Folgers can. "In 2003, P&G introduced Folgers Coffee in a consumer-preferred plastic container," P&G said. "This innovation has grown the Folgers business for the past four years." The lawsuit seeks to stop Kraft Foods from selling the allegedly infringing Maxwell House Coffee package. It also seeks recovery of an undisclosed amount of damages.

A Germantown inventor says he discovered the secret to keeping delicate whites white years ago, but now the country’s biggest bleach manufacturer is leaving him in the dark. Lawnie Taylor sued The Clorox Co. last week to prove that its UltimateCare Premium Bleach is just like his 2004 patented formula for GLEE, a liquid chlorine bleach that removes stains without damaging clothing. Taylor, a physicist and retired senior engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy, said he and his attorney spent several months in licensing and royalty talks with Clorox after the product was launched in May 2006. When those talks ended three or four months later, Taylor said he decided a new course of action was needed. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:05:22 am into the following categories: In The News08/28/07
A Georgia synthetic glove maker has filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission alleging Cardinal Health Inc. infringed on a patent. The company that filed the complaint, Menlo, Ga.-based Best Manufacturing Co., alleges the nitrile gloves Cardinal imports from its glove manufacturer in Malaysia infringe on a patent it owns. Best Manufacturing is requesting the trade commission issue a cease-and-desist order for the product that also would go to four other companies listed as respondents in the investigation. Cardinal spokeswoman Donna Gaidamak said the nitrile gloves the company imports from Malaysia and then distributes through its gloves group in McGaw Park, Ill., are among the many medical and surgical gloves it markets. Cardinal has been distributing gloves for more than 20 years. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:04:02 am into the following categories: In The News
