		<description><![CDATA[ At least as early as the 1990s there were growing pressures to correct perceived problems in the patent system of the United States. The problems were said to relate to patent quality and the increase in patent litigation, its costs and its consequences, among others. Some considered it important to &#8220;harmonize&#8221; the US patent laws [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Big medtech companies have been criticized for their diminishing innovation record, especially from this blog.  One of the few innovation strengths that large companies should exhibit is manufacturing.  And, I’m not referring to advanced manufacturing in itself, but the synergy between manufacturing and R&#38;D. In the mid-nineties, I had the pleasure to experience Cordis Corporation [...]]]></description>
