Microsoft has said that it is backing the White House in its efforts to revamp a patent system that has become a haven for Patent Trolls.



From Fudzilla:
This will aims to “help patent examiners keep up with fast-changing technological fields by making it easier for technologists, engineers, and other experts to provide relevant technical training and guidance to patent examiners”.

Horacio Gutierrez, deputy general counsel and corporate vice president of legal and corporate affairs at Microsoft said his company applauds and supports these efforts.

“All stakeholders, including those of us in the private sector, have a key role to play in keeping this system healthy,” he wrote in his bog.
