Wisconsin would be one of the top beneficiaries of a broad reform of the patent application process on the front end and the court system on the back end. We may need a special court for patent issues. This is a complex field of human endeavor, so reform will not be easy. It may need the talent of a Harvard lawyer, such as Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold. He surely understands that we canâ??t lead in an innovation economy with a broken innovation system.
