RE: [PIUG List] JPO to cut patent & trademark fees

Alan,

Can you attribute a reliable source to these statistics? Is there more
detail available (i.e.: which patent numbers found obvious, which survived,
case /docket number, etc.)?

Thanks

1/3 of the time and the patents were found obvious in 70% and non-novel in
12% of the lost cases.
