Halliburton Tries To Patent Form Of Patent Trolling
,----[ Quote ]
| We see all sorts of ridiculous patent applications and patents, but my
| favorites tend to be the patents that have to do with patents themselves
| (such as the patent app on a method for filing a patent). However, the folks
| over at Patently-O have highlighted a fascinating patent application from an
| attorney at Halliburton, which appears to be an attempt to patent the process
| of patent trolling.

European Patent Office staff on strike
,----[ Quote ]
| Patent examiners and other staff of the European Patent Office (EPO)
| demonstrated outside the European Commission offices Thursday, demanding a
| thorough re-examination of the EPO.
|
| [...]
|
| The staff union, SUEPO, say that lowering the quality of patents will have a
| disastrous effect on innovation which will affect every consumer. Their 'Save
| The EPO' campaign is not aimed at increasing wages but in reinforcing patent
| quality.
