Jotwell Post: The PTO Is Not the Only Patent Agency

Jotwell—the Journal of Things We Like (Lots)—is a terrific way to keep up with interesting recent scholarship. When I created Written Description in 2011, I noted that Jotwell had only two patent-specific posts in the prior year, but the Jotwell IP section is now flourishing. The co-editors of the section, Chris Sprigman and Pam Samuelson, invited me to join as a contributor, so I'll be writing a review for them each year. For my first post, I wrote about two recent papers focusing on administrative agencies beyond the PTO: Patent Conflicts by Tejas Narechania and Administrating Patent Litigation by Jake Sherkow.
