By Kate Rogers – Sunday marked the one- year anniversary of the Obama Administration’s America Invents Act, and the first wave of rules under the law went into effect. Charley Moore, founder and executive chairman at Rocket Lawyer, said the AIA is the “most important change to patent laws since Thomas Jefferson wrote patent laws into the Constitution.”
