By using the scientific method – careful observation, formation of hypotheses, experimentation, interpretation and reproduction of the results – a researcher has given us a better understanding of the genomics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including new information about gene sequencing and the encoding of orphan enzymes. But what is particularly new is that the researcher was not a human but a robot named Adam.

Meet Adam

Adam was created by a team led by Ross D. King, a professor in the computer science department at Aberystwyth University in the UK. Working autonomously, the robot formulated and tested 20 of its own hypotheses in connection with 13 orphan enzymes and observed 6,657,024 optical density measurements. It also...]]>

A new online patent application drafting program may provide inventors with an easy-to-use application developer that automates much of the process.

Professional patent filers and inventors can now set up their applications quickly in an application skeleton that organizes and associates claim terms, part numbers and drawings. The program, called TeamPatent, enhances productivity and quality by reducing errors, by reducing the cost of employing an attorney to assess the finished application and by eliminating the need for a draftsman to interpret the drawings.

Formulated in 2005 by Rocky Kahn, an experienced patent filer, the system was made available to the public in April. Kahn, who heads TeamPatent LLC, has written 23 patents,...]]>

Since 1998, when the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals allowed the patenting of a business method involving tracking mutual fund investments, numerous others have been patented by the US Patent and Trademark Office on the premise that they impart a useful and evident result.

In October, however, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington proposed that, for business methods to gain patent protection, the processes must be “tied to a particular machine or apparatus” or...]]>
