MedicalNewsToday.com reports that the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) appeals to the Senate to consider the Performance and Accountability Report for Fiscal Year 2007 recently issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) as it debates on patent reform legislation. BIO President and CEO Jim Greenwood has expressed concern regarding the need for �the U.S. patent system to continue to provide the framework required to maintain America’s global leadership in innovation.�

As we all know, the US patent system capitalizes on American ingenuity and innovations. Thus, any proposal that could weaken patent certainty and discourage investment in the biotechnology industry should be rejected.

BIO is composed of more than 1,100 biotechnology companies, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and allied organizations across the United States and 31 other nations. They work focuses on healthcare, agricultural, industrial and environmental biotechnology, among others.

In a plan to have a global restructuring, medical device maker Medtronics is cutting jobs this year. CNNMoney.com reports that Medtronic plans to reduce its workforce by 1,100 jobs. Medtronic Spokeswoman Marybeth Thorsgaard said that the jobs to be cut will come from the company’s businesses that have stopped experiencing growth.

The Minneapolis-based company employs around 39,000 workers worldwide, 60 percent of them are in the United States while 40 percent are overseas. While the planned job cut is not at all shocking given the state of the U.S. economy, this job cut will surely affect the families of the concerned workers who are still unnamed.

We have a lot of malpractice in the world today and most of them have been addressed. Expect the medial field to be a lot tighter as people are in need of medical services for their health outlook today.
