The death-defying conclusion to the "audacious," "razor-sharp," and "raucous" exploits of the notorious outlaws Scarlett and Browne from the bestselling author of Lockwood & Co., Jonathan Stroud.

To win their freedom, the outlaws Scarlett and Browne are charged with pulling off an impossible mission. And the clock is ticking . . .

A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy them - with mixed results . . . Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping to begin a shining new chapter in her career.

Action! Humor! Fantasy! "Kicking off a new series with a bang (several bangs, in fact), Stroud sends two young fugitives with murky pasts fleeing murderous pursuers across a fractured future Britain." —Kirkus Reviews, starred **Soon to be a motion picture starring Phoebe Dynevor of Bridgerton!** Scarlett McCain is a shoot-first ask-questions-later kind of outlaw. She scrapes by on bank heists, her wits—and never looking back. She’s on the run from her latest crime when she comes across Albert Browne. He is the sole survivor of a horrific accident, and against her better judgement, Scarlett agrees to guide him to safety. This is a mistake. Soon there are men with dogs and guns and explosives hot on their heels. Scarlett’s used to being chased by the law, but this is extreme. It was only a little bank she’d robbed . . . As they flee together across the wilds, fighting off monstrous beasts, and dodging their pursuers, Scarlett comes to realize that Albert Browne is hiding a terrible secret. And that he may be the most dangerous threat of all. In this fast-paced, quick-witted whirlwind of a story, Jonathan Stroud introduces two unlikely allies—the outlaws Scarlett and Browne—who are about to become the most notorious renegades in all that’s left of Britain.

In his article, Jonathan Barnett misunderstands Oil States v. Greene''s Energy. The case is not about patent rights, but about the use of administrative procedures instead of the courts to settle patent disputes. Going to court--whether under a strong patent regime or weak--means considerable payouts to lawyers and increased complexity and uncertainty about the handling of patents. Those costs increase the burden from patent troll, patent thicket, and royalty stacking problems.

But ghosts seem to be the least of Lockwood & Co.''s concerns when assassins attack during a carnival in the center of the city.

Praise for The Screaming Staircase "This story will keep you reading late into the night, but you''ll want to leave the lights on. Stroud is a genius at inventing an utterly believable world which is very much like ours, but so creepily different. Put The Screaming Staircase on your ''need to read'' list!" -- Rick Riordan "A pleasure from tip to tail, this is the book you hand the advanced readers that claim they''d rather read Paradise Lost than Harry Potter. Smart as a whip, funny, witty, and honestly frightening at times, Stroud lets loose and gives readers exactly what they want. Ghosts, kids on their own without adult supervision, and loads of delicious cookies." -- Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal "Stroud shows his customary flair for blending deadpan humor with thrilling action, and the fiery interplay among the three agents of Lockwood & Co. invigorates the story (along with no shortage of creepy moments)." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for The Whispering Skull "An occult portal and its spectral guardian nearly cut short the careers of three rising young ghost hunters in this madcap sequel to The Screaming Staircase (2013). For all their internecine squabbling, the three protagonists make a redoubtable team-and their supporting cast, led by the sneering titular skull in a jar, adds color and complications aplenty. Rousing adventures for young tomb robbers and delves into realms better left to the dead." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Stroud writes with a fine ear for dialog, a wry sense of humor, and a knack for describing haunted places. Creating tension that ebbs and flows, he slowly builds the dramatic narrative to a resounding crescendo, and he makes the quieter scenes that follow just as compelling." -- Booklist (starred review)

A thrilling new case for London’s most talented psychic detection agency – from the global bestselling author of the Bartimaeus Sequence. In London, a mysterious and potentially deadly ghost is stalking the halls of St Simeon’s Academy for Talented Youngsters. It lurks in the shadows, spreading fear and icy cold – and it carries a sharp and very solid dagger . . . The headmaster wastes no time in enlisting the help of ghost-hunters Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle and George Cubbins. Can Lockwood & Co. survive the night and save the day?

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.
