89赞成，9反对通过的，大势所趋，呵呵。下一步是送奥巴马签字，因为奥巴马之前已经放话他支持这个法案，一定会签字，所以美国专利改革指日可待了。下面是AIPLA主席，我们所的Dave Hill老先生对法案实施的一个小总结，分享给大家。
Among other things, this long-awaited legislation converts the U.S. patent system to a "first inventor to file" standard of determining priority and establishes an expanded post-grant review procedure to permit early and economical challenges to questionable patents. Importantly, the legislation includes a provision to give greater assurance that user fees will be exclusively available for the activities of the USPTO.
Many of the new provisions will be implemented a year after the president signs the legislation, but some will go into effect immediately. Recent issues of AIPLA Direct review the provisions that are immediately effective on enactment (best mode, marking, taxes, fee provisions,reexamination). One provision of wide interest will amend 35 U.S.C. 292 to eliminate qui tam actions for false marking, effective immediately upon enactment and applicable to all cases pending on, or commenced on or after, the date of enactment. See H.R. 1249, pp. 118-119.
