✦ Synopsis

New security vulnerabilities are discovered on a daily basis. With each new announcement, the same questions arise. How significant is this vulnerability? How prevalent? How easy is it to exploit? Due to a lack of global vulnerability data, answers are hard to find and risk rating is even more difficult. The Laws of Vulnerabilities are the conclusions of analyzing statistical vulnerability information over a three-year period. Those vulnerabilities have been identified in the real world across hundreds of thousands of systems and networks. These data are not identifiable to individual users or systems. However, it provides significant statistical data for research and analysis, which enabled us to define and publish the Laws of Vulnerabilities (

Committee reports. Report on patent law

Committee reports. Report on patent law revision**The evidence in support of the Preambles and Resolutions and suggested additions to the copyright, patent and trade-mark laws contained in the first part of our report was not published in the May Journal owing to want of space. I am now sending you the remaining part of the report, by request, as it is considered quite necessary for the members of the Association to have in their hands before the next annual meeting, the entire document for consideration and study. It is believed that this will decidedly facilitate matters and save much time at the annual meeting which otherwise might be used up in unnecessary discussion of the subject.Your Committee wishes to again emphasize that fact that we have no desire to impose our personal views on the Association. The copyright and patent laws were designed to promote progress in science and the useful arts and the trade-mark laws to protect the public from fraud and imposition. It is generally conceded that the laws as now interpreted and applied fall short in accomplishing their purpose. It is therefore incumbent upon the A. Ph. A., representing the pharmacists of America, to suggest proper modifications of the law, of such kind as to secure the very important objects for which they were enacted.—F. E. Stewarcth, Chairman.

The Committee received instructions at the last meeting to proceed with the revision, and the Chairman is desirous that the subject be carefully considered from every viewpoint.The Committee believes that all ambiguity now existing in the law should be removed in the revision. Provision should also be made in the law so that the inventor of a new process can secure a royalty from the original patentee.
