Revive & Restore, a de-extinction organization in Sausalito, California, that is working toward reviving the passenger pigeon, says it doesn’t think the birds should be controlled by intellectual-property claims. “Revive & Restore will not be patenting de-extinct passenger pigeons,” says Elizabeth Bennett, a spokesperson for the organization. The organization envisions that if it succeeds in reintroducing the birds, they will be “protected under existing wildlife laws,” Bennett says. Even some

Daniel Ruskin started his career when he was a mere 14 years old as an engineer for Coinbase. As he tells it, he was a teenager “who knew how to code and wanted to build cool things.” Obviously too young to get a bank account, Ruskin did freelance development work he found on reddit in exchange for bitcoin. There he saw that Coinbase was hiring, and boldly sent the head of operations a cold email asking if he could work for the crypto exchange. “Long story short, I ended up writing much of the

Legal tech has come a long way, but the bulk of an intellectual property or patent lawyer’s work today is still done with spreadsheets, word processors and PDFs.

Solve offers an in-browser document editor that works like Google Docs but is powered by an AI model to

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google has filed a patent that enables reverse wireless charging through a phone’s display. This would allow you to charge your earbuds or smartwatch without your phone needing to be face-down on a table. It’s just a patent, so there’s no guarantee this will ever come to fruition. Reverse wireless charging is a nifty feature some of the best Android phones support. Using the wireless charging coil on the back of the phone, you can “leech” power from i

Imagine making a big mess, only to realize it was for naught. A judge has dismissed Samsung’s attempt at striking before the iron’s hot. Last summer, before Samsung had even released the Galaxy Ring to the public, the company filed a lawsuit asking a judge to proclaim its business didn’t infringe on any patents, specifically, patents related to the Oura Ring.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) just made a move that will protect bad patents at the expense of everyone else. In a memo released February 28, the USPTO further restricted access to inter partes review, or IPR—the process Congress created to let the public challenge invalid patents without having to wage million-dollar court battles. If left unchecked, this decision will shield bad patents from scrutiny, embolden patent trolls, and make it even easier for hedge funds and large cor

The patent (spotted by WCCFTech) filed last month covers a system for implementing proximity chat in games. This feature lets nearby players in a game hear and speak to you through your headset
