In the 2004 fiscal year, United States patent office received applications for 376,810 patents1. In that same fiscal year, 124 new secrecy orders were imposed bringing the total secrecy orders affect to numbering 4,885 and the end of the 2,004 fiscal year2. While this minority composes less than a tenth of a percent of the patent applications in that year, it is a special interest we cannot afford to ignore. The protection of the rights of the individual and the rights of the inventor constitutes a serious matter of civil liberties that must not be overlooked simply because of the overshadowing numbers.
The there is much they can be said about a patent secrecy orders and their facts on freedom of speech and freedom of information transfer.
