Dear Barry,
 
Thank you very much for the info on IPO’s activities. Microsoftâ=
€™s Marshall Phelps is making a presentation at ACCJ on Oct 8 so I will=
 ask him about quality metrics there. As you might expect, my interest is m=
ore in JP patents than US.
 
Thanks also for letting me know about LES. I am conducting a SMIPS workshop=
 on the 18th and have IRFS and PATINEX shortly after that so LES is out thi=
s year, but maybe next year.
 
Best regards,

Hi Alan,

As regards your post, the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) co=
ncluded its Annual Meeting on Tuesday with a panel on patent quality. IPO h=
as a patent quality committee, led by Mike Walker, Chief IP Counsel of DuPo=
nt, that is working on baseline recommended quality metrics for US patents =
and applications. The panel not only featured Mike, but also featured execu=
tive IP leaders from Microsoft and IBM, as well as the general counsel of t=
he USPTO. All discussed metrics used for patent quality, though the officia=
l IPO position (getting help in part, as I understand it, from the IBM rese=
arch mentioned in your post) was labeled "not yet ready for prime time." Th=
erefore, panel presentations revolved around metrics used within each panel=
ist's organization.

In addition, there will be simultaneous workshops on patent quality and pat=
ent ranking systems at the upcoming LES Annual Meeting October 19 - 22 in O=
rlando. As co-chair of that event, I encourage you to attend to learn more =
of the active commercial interest in the area.

Our firm is among a few others that have developed reliable patent quaity a=
lgorithms for use in proprietary analytics or for inclusion in the tools of=
 others. You can be assured that development continues publicly and private=
ly among organizations and institutions seeking to understand - at least at=
 a first pass - how to separate the minority of legally or economically str=
ong patent "signal" from the majority of weak patent "noise."
