每一年普華永道 (普華永道)開展對專利和專利訴訟的研究, 在該組織分析有關的統計資料 “熱點” 專利法的課題。今年，普華永道看著 nonpracticing實體 (nPes的 – 公司不設計, 製造, 或經銷產品) 和他們對訴訟的影響.
研究發現，, 調整使用的消費物價指數通脹, 一年一度的中位數賠償範圍從 $2.2 萬元 $10.6 萬, 中位數獎 $4.4 元過去 14 年. 總體, 這個統計數字已更多或不太一致，在此期間，.
不過, NPES損害賠償近年來大大提升。事實上, 在過去 7年執業實體中位數賠償 NPES獎的三倍以上獎勵 ($12 元為 NPES, 和 $3.4 百萬執業實體).對比與 1995-2001, NPES獎是中位數的損失大約在同一執業實體相比 (大致 $5 萬).
一個顯而易見的解釋，可能是NPES已變得越來越複雜在選擇專利訴訟, 了解市場對起訴。然而, 另一種解釋可能有陪審團的審訊中使用 – 陪審團決定只 14 ％在20世紀 80年代和損害賠償案件 24 “期間的20世紀 90年代％. 在這十年, 陪審團的決定 51 ％的情況下的損害賠償.
The Obama administration is committed to using every instrument of national power to fight terrorism – including intelligence and military operations as well as the criminal justice system. As a counter-terrorism tool, the criminal justice system has proven incredibly effective in both incapacitating terrorists and gathering valuable intelligence from and about terrorists. In every instance, the administration will use the tool that is most effective for fighting terrorism, and will make those decisions based on pragmatism, not ideology.

“May you live in interesting times,” says an ancient Chinese curse. In the world of legal research, these are interesting times indeed. Westlaw and LexisNexis are both preparing to launch major reconfigurations of their research platforms. Bloomberg Law is jockeying to take them on. Efforts to put all legal research materials in the public domain continue to gain momentum. And even 800-pound gorilla Google is getting into the game.
While those various efforts involve bigger, better and more research on the Web, one legal research service, Fastcase, is about to launch a robust legal research tool you can carry wherever you go. Fastcase has developed an app that allows full case law and statutory research on an iPhone. 更妙的是, not only is the app free, but so is the research.

Google Inc unveiled a new version of its Internet phone service on Tuesday in its latest effort to bypass Apple Inc’s gatekeepers and make Google Voice a popular service on the iPhone.
The new version of Google Voice can only be accessed through a smartphone’s Web browser, unlike the so-called native apps that can be downloaded directly onto an iPhone.
七月, Google said that Apple had turned down its application to offer Google Voice as a native iPhone app. The rare public spat underscored the growing competition between the two tech giants and prompted the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to request more information from the companies on the matter.

At least three US oil companies were the target of a series of previously undisclosed cyberattacks that may have originated in China and that experts say highlight a new level of sophistication in the growing global war of Internet espionage.
The oil and gas industry breaches, the mere existence of which has been a closely guarded secret of oil companies and federal authorities, were focused on one of the crown jewels of the industry: valuable “bid data” detailing the quantity, 值, and location of oil discoveries worldwide, sources familiar with the attacks say and documents obtained by the Monitor show.
The companies – Marathon Oil, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips – didn’t realize the full extent of the attacks, which occurred in 2008, until the FBI alerted them that year and in early 2009. Federal officials told the companies proprietary information had been flowing out, including to computers overseas, a source familiar with the attacks says and documents show.
The data included e-mail passwords, 消息, and other information tied to executives with access to proprietary exploration and discovery information, the source says.

Last week in ALM’s Internet Law & Strategy newsletter, via Law.com, M. Anderson Berry and David Kiernan provided an excellent analysis of an issue that is of rapidly-growing importance: How can lawyers authenticate Web pages as evidence in court?
The authors pose an interesting and very realistic hypothetical under which a plaintiff sues your client, claiming that his injuries have made him unable to work, travel or bowl. On the eve of trial, “you discover pictures and other details on a social networking website about plaintiff’s recent trip to the International Bowling Museum & Hall of Fame, including a picture of plaintiff proudly holding a fluorescent orange bowling ball and a four-foot tall gilded trophy dated four days earlier.” As you approach the witness with the smoking-gun printouts of the Web pages, you are met with an objection from opposing counsel: “Lack of foundation.”
Now what? Berry and Kiernan explain that the common tactic of taking a screenshot of a key Web page is like taking a photograph of the image as it appears on the monitor. If proper steps are not taken to admit the evidence, 不過, the value of this information may be lost, as courts are highly suspicious of evidence taken from the Internet. One federal judge even labeled it “voodoo information,” and warned that the Internet is “one large catalyst for rumor, innuendo, and misinformation.” 聖. Clair v. Johnny’s Oyster & Shrimp, 公司, 76 F. 增刊. 2ð 773, 774-75 (SD. 特克斯. 1999).
The article states that the majority of courts now appear to require the proponent to authenticate a Web site under Rule 901(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, which permits authentication by “[噸]estimony that a matter is what it is claimed to be.” This testimony typically must answer the following questions:
The scope of the testimony required varies among federal courts, the article notes. For much more on this subject, including information on how to use screenshots from the amazing Internet Archive, a.k.a. 的 “Wayback Machine,” check out Berry and Kiernan’s article 在這裡.
