The USPTO was created by congress under authority to do so granted by the Constitution of the USA. They are responsible to the US congress. The mission granted to congress is:
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries" Exactly what "promoting the Progress of Science" comprises is open to interpretation. It is unlikely that SAWS had caused any law to be broken by the USPTO, so it will be up to some federal judge to determine if SAWS affected patents were treated in some way "unjustly" by the USPTO and/or not in the best interest of the United States as a whole. As I posted in Peter's blog, there are ways around this - create a portfolio of patents that circle the technology that is not being allowed, so other people cannot practice the invention not being allowed without violating the circled technology whose patents did issue. While creating a circle portfolio of patents is certainly a financial burden for the small inventor, it is not a terrible burden for a corporation. In fact, it can be a benefit - circle the technology today, and eventually the USPTO will allow the circled core (SAWS suppressed) technology as a submarine patent (delayed issue), extending the exclusivity of the patented technology. If Rossi and his investors are smart, they are busy circling his core technology with a portfolio of patents designed so that these will be allowable by the USPTO.
