The Mossoff Minute

Quick takes on movements in patent reform, IP court rulings, and innovation policy.

The Mossoff Minute

​The Mossoff Minute is a monthly short-form video series that helps keep you informed on significant events in the patent world – particularly those events relating to the battle that rages on between the ragtag group of rebels fighting to restore our patent system to its former Gold Standard against the all too powerful forces spending billions to destroy the ladder they once climbed up on. The Mossoff Minute builds on our Patent Wars podcast episode, and features short conversations with Professor Adam Mossoff, providing updates and quick takes on movements in patent reform, significant court rulings, innovation policy happenings, and occasional Star Wars references. We also publish video from these segments to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
