Patent nonsense: News that could change the way we work and play
,----[ Quote ]
| The second round of patent wackiness occurred on Wednesday, when media
| analytics firm VoloMedia was granted a patent for the basic elements of
| podcasting. Patent number 7,568,213, "Method for providing episodic media
| content" was awarded Wednesday to Volomedia after almost 6 years of study by
| the Patent Office. Volomedia's founder, Murgesh Navar, claims that the patent
| filing in 2003 was made "almost a year before the start of podcasting."

Has the US patent system gone too far?
,----[ Quote ]
| When Samuel Hopkins came up with a method for improving the production of
| potash, it was probably just the kind of invention that President George
| Washington had in mind when he created the US patent system. Hopkins, who in
| 1790 received the first American patent ever issued, had discovered a way to
| increase the production of a critical resource used to make glass, soap, and
| soil fertilizer.
