Book Description
What's going on with the patent system? You may have heard terms like "patent trolls" and "patent reform" in the news, because fixing the patent system has become a major topic for lawmakers today. Patents are based on a simple concept of encouraging inventions. But around this simple concept, a complicated system of laws has grown. This book will guide you through the fast-changing world of patent law and policy, identifying some of the most pressing problems with the system and suggesting ways to fix them. A Five Part Plan for Patent Reform is part of a white paper series by Public Knowledge, a nonprofit technology policy organization based in Washington, DC. Public Knowledge focuses on promoting the consumer and public interests at the intersection of technology and law.

Book Description
In 1948, three civilian engineers were killed in an Air Force plane crash while testing secret navigational equipment. The widows filed suit, but the Air Force, at the dawn of the Cold War, refused to hand over accident reports and witness statements, claiming the documents contained classified information that would threaten national security. In 1953 the Supreme Court sided with the Air Force in United States v. Reynolds, formally recognizing the "state secrets" privilege, a legal precedent since used to conceal conduct, withhold documents, block troublesome litigation, and, most recently, detain terror suspects without due process. A half century later, the government revealed the "top-secret" information--there were no national security secrets, but rather a shocking chronicle of negligence. This book tells the story of this shameful incident, and the dangerous consequences of this historic cover-up: the violation of civil liberties and the abuse of constitutional protections.--From publisher description.
