      abstract = {The articles in this year's edition of the Intellectual  Property Law Review reflect topics most often seen in  intellectual property related law review articles during  the past year. In patents, concerns about the Supreme  Court's decision in Alice continue to dominate. After all,  some say that Alice is the worst decision by the Supreme  Court on patents since passage of the 1952 Patent Act.  Certainly Alice's impact on patents is of interest as well  as of concern, and an article herein is directed  specifically to the Supreme Court's current "patent  litigation reform project." That article provides a  thoughtful analysis of the Court's twenty-eight reversals  of the Federal Circuit in patent cases since the year 2000  and provides reasons for bat Court's actions. One article  herein provides a survey of the state of patents now, five  years after Alice, and another article proposes special  legislation for protecting software, similar to the Plant  Variety Protection Act that Congress passed years ago to  protect plants. While plants at first may not seem similar  to software, there are some remarkable analogies between  the two, as both plants and software involve "data  manipulation." The articles about trademarks include  important topics on subjects that practitioners may not  often think about, but should consider. One such article  discusses how federal courts' perspectives on trademarks  differ from those of the Trademark Office, and why de novo  review by a court is beneficial despite the Trademark  Office's significant expertise on trademarks. Another  article discusses in detail disclaimers of words in  composite marks and advises of nuances and potential  consequences not always readily appreciated during the  trademark registration process. Another article discusses  the continuing expansion of trademark law and why  correction is needed.},
