I see from the thread that this is Hussein Obama’s handy work.
Even the devil can use truth against foolish men who won’t acknowledge it.
One major purpose of “letters patent” was vitiated long ago with the sheer volume of material — not to mention that people in the development sector are urged never to actually look at patents. The result is reinvention of the same thing dozens of times and few actually caring. Hence this new board’s almost universal determinations of obviousness — the facts empirically prove it out in a moribund system. Surely patents were never intended to be welfare for lawyers and courts.
But yet again, this board might not be looking at the best patents, the ones that are the most visionary. It might be looking mainly if not only at trash patents. If so, yes they deserve to die.
Bttt
It should be congresses priority to correct this.
Not much incentive to invent things if some administrative court can facilitate the theft of your intellectual property.
