Duh. Guess I'll have to
patent that.
Why Do
We Assume Patents Are Valid When Patent Office's Own
Numbers
Show They Get Things Wrong All The
Time?

I do believe there are serious problems with the USPTO and that software patents
should either be abolished or tightened up several orders of mangitude. That
said, there would seem to be a problem with selection bias in the (now correctly
;-) linked article's argument. Namely, it talks about the perecentage of
patents submitted for re-examination that have problems rather than the
percentage of all patents. IOW, somebody already thinks there might be a
problem when a patent is submitted for re-examination. I wonder if the argument
could be tightened up some.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Instead of granting a monopoly, give a grant. The idea/invention is then
available to the people to enrich society, not locked in some legal construction
that denies the use to the rest of the world. Don't want to share, don't apply
for the grant and sue based on trade secrets. But don't try to have your cake
and eat it too the way they do now.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
