...

Sounds like a UseNet lawyer, that letter accomplished nothing. Actually, altho ahm no 'spert, it seems like a patent examiner is doing someone a favor when they reject a patent, bec ultimately an approved patent is just a doorway to endless litigation, should you choose to be territorial about yer "intellectual property" -- or should you fall victim to someone who is. A patent examiner who does a sloppy incomplete search, thus approving an application, does the applicant more of a disservice than one who denies a patent. One of the strategies of people trying to circumvent existing patents is to do ultra-thorough searches of the literature, media, and "art", and the chances are disturbingly high that they will succeed. If this guy is miffed, he should file in Europe, where they rubber stamp EVERY patent application, and leave it for the patented crabs in a barrel to duke it out in very espensive litigation. Imo, they pretty much rubber stamp **** in the US as well, altho not by statute. Read Don Lancaster's take on patenting. Patenting is largely a but another con -- unless the stakes are very high, like, Apple vs Samsung -- and I'll bet apple/samsung would think patenting is a con, after dat mega-million bull****. -- EA |
