Presenting a thrilling new voice in children''s literature-a witty, gripping adventure story featuring a boy and his not-so-tame djinni. Nathaniel is a young magician''s apprentice, taking his first lessons in the arts of magic. But when a devious hotshot wizard named Simon Lovelace ruthlessly humiliates Nathaniel in front of everyone he knows, Nathaniel decides to kick up his education a few notches and show Lovelace who''s boss. With revenge on his mind, he masters one of the toughest spells of all: summoning the all-powerful djinni, Bartimaeus. But summoning Bartimaeus and controlling him are two different things entirely, and when Nathaniel sends the djinni out to steal the powerful Amulet of Samarkand, Nathaniel finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of magical espionage, murder, blackmail, and revolt.

The system grows complex, and small patent-seeking entities suffer. The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act changed everything -- notably by ushering in a number of new post-grant review procedures, thus increasing the complexity of an already-complex system of patenting. Instituted on Sept. 16, 2012, post-grant review procedures have left small entities behind. Analysis of Inter Partes Review (IPR) filings shows that small entities are already grossly underrepresented. This trend is likely to continue unless the PTO makes a significant commitment to level the playing field. We suggest means of doing so. The article details the legislative history and the history of the reexamination regime, examines the relevant pending petitions, and argues that small entities are underrepresented by the new regulations and the early petitions. It provides up-to-date statistics on IPR review and the related stay proceedings in a clear, concise, and easy-to-digest format, and seeks to explain this new, complicated area so practitioners, patentees, and judges can grow familiar with it.

Most businesses, whether they know it or not, rely extensively on trade secrets -- the processes, practices, software, strategic data, and other valuable confidential information not known to, or easily ascertained by, the public -- to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Indeed, recent estimates value trade secrets owned by publicly traded U.S. companies at around $5 trillion. In our globally interconnected business world, the theft and unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets to competitors or to the public almost always results in the loss of that competitive edge, loss of market share, and can send stock prices tumbling. Responding, a number of companies suffering from industrial espionage have chosen to file a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). This rush to the ITC raises intriguing questions: Why the ITC? What advantages could it offer? Why not file in U.S. district court or state court? The answer, in a single word: Success. Specifically, the recent success Amsted Industries, Inc. enjoyed pursuing trade secret misappropriation claims at the ITC after a Chinese company hired away its employees and stole its trade secrets.
