a start; let's expand
The '''Leahy-Smith America Invents Act''' (AIA) changed the [[patent]] system in favor of big corporations and against small inventors. The AIA embraced the mistaken notion of patents as being "public rights" dependent entirely on the whim of government.

The AIA changed the ownership of patent rights from "the first to invent," to the "first to file," effective as of March 16, 2013. Big companies that invent nothing can obtain patents rights superior to the inventor by merely filing first with the Patent & Trademark Office. The AIA rewards filing for patents with priority over being the first to invent.

The AIA also established, as of the date it became law on September 16, 2011, that a failure to disclose the best mode shall no longer be a basis for cancellation of a patent in patent validity or infringement proceedings.
