If you hadn’t been following public speculation over the past several months of “will they or won’t they?” around U.S. patent reform, you’ve likely become quite familiar with the legislation since Friday’s signing of the America Invents Act into law.
Our own, Louis Foreman, who amongst a list of credentials, is well-noted for his involvement with the USPTO’s Patent Public Advisory Committee, received a personal invitation to the White House to take part in the festivities. Expecting to watch from the sidelines, Louis was both surprised and honored to be invited onstage to be at the President’s side as the bill was signed into law.
Below is video footage and photos from the historic event.
