Based on his testimony to congress he backs the patent reform bill which has nothing to do with reform. The question is will he be his own man and strive to actually fix the patent office or will he use this as an opportunity to advance the agenda of large corporations like IBM in making patents the sport of kings, stifling innovation and plunging the country deeper into debt and depression? We will see.

Patent reform is a fraud on America...

The issue of reforming the patent system has been at the forefront of attention in recent months. The nomination of Mr. Kappos brings with it optimism and concern at the same time. Many are optimistic that Mr. Kappos will make an effort towards reforming a highly scrutinized system. However, others are concerned that he may bring a ideals from his career at IBM and stifle smaller inventors for the sake of bettering large companies. For more on this, see Aminn.org
