The America Invents Act implements significant changes to the U.S. patent system, so it's prudent to consider how those changes impact intellectual property strategies and practices that have developed over the past few decades.
Exactly how the new law will impact any particular patent-owner is largely dependent on the nature of the patentee’s technology, its business model and the competitive and patent landscape. It is clear, though, that anyone filing or litigating patents should carefully reevaluate their IP strategy to make the most of the upcoming changes.
