PTAB Wiping Out Inventors

The larger fish, named ‘Big Tech’s Buddy’, is depicted with sharp teeth, wide eyes, and is holding a patent document. The smaller fish, labeled ‘The Inventor’, in distress, with wide eyes and an open mouth trying to survive.

The challenges inventors face with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), which invalidates 84% of patents it reviews. The PTAB has been criticized for enabling large corporations to invalidate patents and stifle innovation, often harming small inventors who struggle against powerful companies.  The group US Inventor advocates for legislative changes to restore inventor rights, emphasizing the need for a fair patent system that supports American innovation. They work to educate and support inventors in navigating these legal challenges. For more details, visit US Inventor.
