I believe the above program of reform would address the critical failings of the patent system --
(a) ~ rigorous patent validity fact finding is currently delegated to courts; (b) the quite substantial costs of establishing patents internationally via WIPO (which forces some inventors to sell their soul to money bags.) 1 - All science, engineering, and mathematic federal scholarships
must be tied to a Federal USPTO examiner service obligation (like ROTC)
2 - All provisional patent applications must be published within the period of
9-12 months of the registration of PPA. Practitioners in the field may file
records of objection due to prior art during this period with USPTO.
3 - The United States of America, in recognition of importance of innovation
to social progress underwrites the costs of patent issuance at WIPO.
This is further incentive for the Federal Government to insure it does not issue bogus patents.
