Simon, who spent 15 years working for intel in various IP-related roles before becoming senior vice president for IP at Salesforce, also sets out his opinions on the PTAB, Fintiv, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and Google v Oracle.
He also reveals how he’s increasingly using data to assess his company’s performance at the USPTO.
