kudos:3 | Beware Beware of companies with large patent portfolios supporting patent reform. I'm not saying that patent reform isn't needed, but lets make sure that the changes will actually help.

| Indeed. I think that patents need to apply to more than something like a "window", or a "hyperlink" or a "click box".
Generic concepts for doing things should not be patentable. Novel approaches for doing things are what should be patentable. And no claiming patents on things that are already in the public domain unless they display a granted patent reference. Pat Pending is not good enough. How many years were can openers "Pat Pending"? |
