Maybe someone else has been paying closer attention than I, but one clue is at http://change.gov/agenda/technology_agenda/:

Reform the Patent System: Ensure that our patent laws protect legitimate rights while not stifling innovation and collaboration. Give the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) the resources to improve patent quality and open up the patent process to citizen review to help foster an environment that encourages innovation. Reduce uncertainty and wasteful litigation that is currently a significant drag on innovation.

To make sense of this, you probably need to have been following things like http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/05/patent-reform-act-st...
