The Northern District of California federal court wants to know what's wrong with its local patent rules. Or what's right, for that matter. For the first time since the widely imitated rules were created, the district is soliciting feedback on them. Designed to press parties to distill their arguments and present them plainly early in the pretrial phase, the rules have been lauded for speeding up a process that tends to be lengthy. But they are not without their critics in the intellectual property bar.
