Significance is in the eye of the beholder and not a word used in 35 USC 101.
If the invention is insignificant, don't use it.
If it must be used, it must be significant. Pay the fee.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If I make a small improvement, why shouldn't I patent it?
The problem is not me patenting my improvement. The problem is couching my
improvement in vague terms that can then be used to harass the people who were
there before me.
ONCE AGAIN we need an example! The inventor must HAVE TO show the court his
invention. At which point the Judge is likely to either (a) laugh at my
improvement or (b) ask "and how does my competitor's product actually
infringe?". (And in the latter case, the Judge should probably also (c) say
"attorney fees awarded to the defendant!")
