a simpler solution,:
all one needs to do is to publish your invention. Period.

There, fixed it for you. The 'net is too big and ugly. There's a bunch
of prior art will never get there. But your assumption that the
patent office is working competently is far too optimistic on the
evidence before us. So these simpler solutions have a bleak future.
I see another problem: your publication prevents your oponents from
patenting the invention, but if they can build and sell it cheaper
than you, they're eating your lunch.

If you are sued for infringing someone else's patent(s), and having given your
inventions away by publishing without patenting, you have no weapons of your own
to counter with.
I think that this DPL needs to go a step further. I think it needs to be setup
like the OIN, where everyone who participates assigns the rights to their
patents to a central pool to be used to counter sue anyone who sues a member who
who has donated their patents to the pool, period. The OIN is a good start, but
it only helps you defend against patent attacks for a specific set of software
that the OIN defines as being part of the "Linux Ecosystem". If the
DPL does it that way but counter sues for any patent attack, using all of the
donated patents, and the pool gets big enough, then no one will dare sue anyone
who participates in the DPL for fear of being counter-sued for potentially
hundreds, or even thousands of patent violations.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
