Patent Office Proposes Speed Lane (And Slow Lane) For Patents; Treating The Symptom, Not The Disease
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, none of this will help. It just
| means that companies with more money to
| spend will jump to the fast lane, clogging
| that fast lane, and lengthening the wait
| times for those who don't want to spend
| that much money. It's difficult to see how
| that helps. The real issue is vastly
| cutting back on what is considered
| patentable. Move way from having companies
| feeling the need to patent anything and
| everything and get them back to focusing
| on competing in the marketplace. If there
| must be a patent system, let it be limited
| to the rare cases where there is actual
| proof that the gov't granted monopoly
| makes sense (if those exist) and where
| there's no likelihood of independent
| invention coming up with the same thing at
| about the same time (a key point that
| should determine obviousness).
