This report documents how USPTO’s recent policy of refusing to correct its own errors in issued patents is undermining the interests of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as the true inventors that the patent system was designed to serve. USPTO’s actions are contrary to the requirements of the Inter Partes Review (IPR) framework of the America Invents Act (AIA).
