USPTO Advisory Board

Posted by michael on from the dulce-et-decorum-est dept.

MisterBad writes: "Once again the USPTO is taking open submissions for its advisory board. This group helps to set patent and trademark policy for the future. Having a friend of software freedom on this board is just too important to ignore. Don Marti of Linux Journal has the details on how to submit a name for consideration. Don't YOU want Lawrence Lessig or RMS helping to make patent policy?"

      My sentiments exactly. We finally have a way to change policy, but it gets hidden in a place no one will read.

      I guess if we actually reformed patent and trademark, slashdot editors wouldn't have anything to scare people with.
