C4IP Letter to House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet

C4IP ED Frank Cullen recently sent a letter to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, #IntellectualProperty, and the Internet.

It highlights recent #USPTO policy successes and urges further thoughtful action to reform the #PTAB, restore #patent eligibility, and promote #AI innovation.

The USPTO adopted a final rule requiring foreign-domiciled patent applicants and patent owners to be represented by a registered US patent practitioner.

Lawmakers press USPTO director over trademark filings for 'Board of Peace' and fee waiver A committee member questioned why the USPTO filed and sought a fee waiver for trademark applications tied to a 'Board of Peace' domain; Director Squires said the office acted as a narrow custodian under 35 U.S.C. §3 to prevent cybersquatting and denied representing the president, while members pressed for documents and raised conflict-of-interest concerns.

House Judiciary Committee members are questioning the USPTO's rapid trademark filings and fee waivers for a "Board of Peace," raising serious conflict-of-interest concerns.

Rob McConnell Interviews - JOSE ESCAMILLA - Stephen Spielberg Stole HIS Material! Did one of Hollywood’s most iconic filmmakers draw inspiration from someone else’s groundbreaking discoveries? In this explosive episode, Jose Escamilla makes the controversial claim that Steven Spielberg used elements of his original UFO research without proper credit. Known for his work documenting unexplained aerial phenomena—often referred to as “rods” or “skyfish”—Escamilla shares his side of a story that blurs the line between independent research and mainstream entertainment. Jose dives into the origins of his discoveries, how he brought these mysterious phenomena to public attention, and why he believes his work may have influenced major motion pictures. Are these similarities coincidence, inspiration, or something more deliberate? And what does this say about the relationship between fringe research and Hollywood storytelling? This episode raises larger questions about ownership of ideas, the commercialization of the unknown, and how unconventional research can find its way into popular culture—sometimes without acknowledgment. It also explores the deeper mystery behind the phenomena Escamilla has spent years investigating: what exactly are these strange aerial entities, and why are they so often overlooked? Join us for a provocative and revealing conversation that challenges the boundaries between discovery and entertainment—and asks whether the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction… or quietly woven into it.
