AltGrendel writes: "Starting today, the FTC is having hearings on US Patent laws with, as their web site puts it, 'the primary focus of the hearings will be to examine the implications of competition and patent law and policy for innovation and other aspects of consumer welfare'. The ones that I think may be of most interest are on Feb 20th and Feb 25th thru 28th. The full schedule is here. They also state that 'Written comments from interested parties may be submitted to the FTC.'"
