Art Unit 1718 examines patent applications directed to coating and etching processes, technology important for semiconductor and chip manufacturing. The semiconductor and chip manufacturing technologies are of utmost geo-political importance these days. AU1718 exhibits a wide range of patent examiner allowance rates, ranging from 3% to 69%. Chart A shows that German-owned patent applications are predominantly to the examiner who only allows 3% of the cases. Why are 92% of Atotech GmbH's applications in AU1718 assigned to the 3% examiner? Why are 82% of the United Tech Corp and 67% of GE's applications filed in AU1718 assigned to the 3% examiner? Chart B shows examples of other American, plus Taiwan, Korean, Japanese, and Dutch owned companies whose patent applications filed in AU1718 are NOT predominately assigned to the 3% examiner. 48% of Taiwan Semiconductor applications are assigned to an examiner with a 43% allowance rate. None of Taiwan Semiconductor's applications are assigned to the 3% examiner. Why are 45% of Hitachi's applications assigned to the examiner with a 69% allowance rate? #USPTO, #chip, #Technology, #tech, #IP, #semiconductor, #congress, #OIG, #GAO,

Expedited patent examination for semiconductor technology "To encourage research, development, and innovation in semiconductor manufacturing, the Commerce Department’s U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is?announcing?a new?Semiconductor Technology Pilot Program?developed to support the CHIPS for America program. "...The pilot program is designed to accelerate improvements in the semiconductor industry by expediting examination of patent applications for certain semiconductor manufacturing innovations.... "The USPTO will begin accepting petitions to participate in the Semiconductor Technology Pilot Program on Friday, December 1, 2023. The pilot program will be available until December 2, 2024, or until the USPTO accepts 1,000 grantable petitions, whichever is reached first." https://lnkd.in/d7VTiTqC #IP #semiconductor #patents #USPTO

?????? Deciphering the Strategic Landscape of Semiconductor Intellectual Property (SIP) ???? Semiconductor technology stands as the bedrock of our modern digital times, revolutionizing industries and driving economic growth. Reading its intricate history, this paper shows the central role of Intellectual Property (IP) in shaping its evolution, from inception to widespread adoption. ?? ?? Unveiling the Evolution: Explore the dynamic journey of semiconductor innovation, from its nascent stages of invention to the sprawling landscape of mass production and global diffusion. Witness how fundamental scientific breakthroughs, collaborative research endeavors, and entrepreneurial spirit have fueled its growth. For instance, consider the case of Intel's x86 architecture, protected by patents, which laid the foundation for modern computing. These patents not only safeguarded Intel's innovations but also facilitated collaboration with other industry players, driving collective progress. ?? The Power of IP: Patents emerge as formidable assets, not just for protection, but as catalysts for collaboration and technology sharing. Through liberal licensing policies encouraged by antitrust measures, industry giants like IBM and Qualcomm have fostered innovation ecosystems, where competitors collaborate and innovate collectively. One prime example is the formation of the Blu-ray Disc Association, where major electronics companies pooled their patents to establish a unified standard, enabling widespread adoption of Blu-ray technology. This exemplifies how IP can be leveraged to propel industry-wide advancements. However, challenges arise with the introduction of new IP forms, such as the sui generis system for mask design protection. Despite initial intentions, its effectiveness remains questionable, serving as a cautionary tale for future IP innovations. ?? Looking Ahead: As semiconductor technology continues to evolve, so does the IP landscape. The growing significance of copyright reflects the shifting paradigms of digital content creation and distribution within this domain. Join the conversation among IP aficionados and semiconductor enthusiasts to dissect the strategic interplay between technology, innovation, and intellectual property in shaping our digital future! ???? #SIP #IPStrategy #SemiconductorInnovation #DigitalEconomy

#uspto announced Semiconductor Technology Pilot Program which will run until December 2, 2024 or date on which total of 1000 applications have been granted special leave status which ever occurs earlier. ? The program is intended to provide equitable intellectual property protection to incentivize investment in #semiconductor manufacturing space. ? The program will expedite examination of #patent applications for innovations that increase semiconductor device production, reduce semiconductor manufacturing costs, strengthen the semiconductor supply chain. ? Eligible patent applications must contain at least one claim that covers a process or an apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device and that corresponds to one or more of the technical concepts within H10 or H10L in the CPC system. ? Eligible patent applications include i) Non-continuing original utility nonprovisional applications; and ii) Original utility nonprovisional applications that claim the benefit of the filing date under 35 U.S.C. 120, 121, 365(c), or 386(c) of only one prior application that is either a nonprovisional application or an international application designating the United States. ? Applicants must file the petition to make special with the application or entry into the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371 or within 30 days of the filing date or entry date of the application. ?

M&A is an interesting topic, in every strategy/case study we know hindsight is 20/20 so it is easier to analyze the situation after the fact !!. How ever in my years of experience working at startups, there is one common theme that comes across: in a market that is "frothy," i.e. is the flavor of the day such as Telecom, AI or other, M&A activity is driven by what the stock market drives it to be. It is purely based on short term strategy. Not anything long term or something that can be monetized. So, to all my friends at #Intel, Pat Gelsinger is the right person to lead #Intel. He came from the old Intel and knows strategy, technology, engineering very well (Having led it's GPU efforts). Intel made acquisitions such as Nervana Systems that was a dud.....and spent a lot of money trying to monetize the technology. But lack of a cohesive strategy and trying to get vertically integrated (which is the right thing to do to extract efficiencies) Why I say this, is as follows, not just because it concerns me personally, but in general, #Intel et. al spent millions of dollars to fight the patent lawsuit on https://lnkd.in/gqNiwnR4 It would have been a lot cheaper for #Intel to settle this case and given it the time to build a stronger approach to system level solutions instead of piece meal stitching together stuff. #Nvidia acquisition of Mellanox was very apt, leading to NVLink interconnects. Nvidia and AMD licensed patent #6009488 and used it to their advantage in their business dealings. AMD 's acquisition of pure software solutions to vertically integrate is not being frowned upon by the market. It is critical to get rid of NIH, EGO and focus on making the company successful. Intel is too important for the US industry to fail! Wishing the #Intel management team the best of luck.
