      abstract = {The articles in this year's edition of the Intellectual  Property Law Review reflect popular topics in law review  articles related to intellectual property during the past  year. Patent articles reflect the importance still given to  patents and to the freedom to invent and to fairly exploit  those inventions. One article remarks on an exceptional  statutory provision, 35 U.S.C. § 145, that allows one to  pursue a patent directly through a court, rather than  through an appeal, if the Patent Office disappoints.  Another article warns of politicization of the Patent  Office, which is seen as undertaking a power grab through  the America Invents Act provisions, and begging to be  reined in. Still another article discusses Amazon's new  efforts to combat patent infringement by counterfeit  merchandise on its robust marketplace platform. Articles  are also included on recent hot patent litigation subjects.  One article is directed to the disgorgement remedy for  design patent infringement a topic brought to light in the  much talked-about Apple v. Samsung litigation. Another  article discusses the Supreme Court's recent decision in  Helsinn Healthcare S.A. u. Teva Pharmaceuticals, USA, Inc.,  holding that secret sales of an invention more than a year  before filing of a patent application on the invention  still bar patentability, even under the terms of the  America Invents Act. And another article seeks a better way  to patent software and avoid the abstract idea doctrine.  The articles about trademarks reflect recognition of the  significant economic value of trademarks and a desire for  fairness in the marketplace. One article discusses  disparity in the trademark system whose expansion favors  large companies and has led to trademark bullying. Another  article discusses how unlawful use of a trademark cannot  result in or sustain a legitimate trademark. Another  article expresses concern about negative connotations  associated with the term "consumer" commonly used in  trademark jurisprudence. And still another article  discusses the need for and use of surveys in trademark  infringement and dilution litigation.},
