MSM Noticing That Patent Gridlock Stunts Innovation
trichard tips a column on the editorial page at that most traditional of mainstream media, the Wall Street Journal, arguing the point (obvious to this community for a decade) that the US patent system costs more than the value it delivers. The columnist is L. Gordon Crovitz and here is an excerpt: "New drugs require great specificity to earn a patent, whereas patents are often granted to broad, thus vague, innovations in software, communications, and other technologies. Ironically, the aggregate value of these technology patents is then wiped out through litigation costs. Our patent system [is] a disincentive at a time when we expect software and other technology companies to be the growth engine of the economy. Imagine how much more productive our information-driven economy would be if the patent system lived up to the intention of the Founders, by encouraging progress instead of suppressing it."
That's a very impressive impression of willhill, wlliyhill.
His Middle Easte plan includes giving $6B yearly to Palestinians in military hardware and training. The idea is that only once a proper balance has been reached will lasting peace be possible.
Just for once, Vote for change!
You mean you don't agree with everything Walt Mossberg has to say about technology? Particularly, his fanboy reports on Apple products?

Whenever I see the acronym "MSM", that's a red flag of a "Paultard". Running around in a Guy Fawkes mask, sleeping with a copy of Ayn Rand under their pillow, antagonizing for St.-Dr.-Messiah Ron Paul to lead the country to the orange-dick vision of utopia and World-of-Warcraft victory for all.
Shun them, Slashdot! They are not your own! And if they get a foothold, you'll think the September that never ended was the birth of the Renaissance by comparison.
Not only is the U.S. legal system corrupt, but...
Here's a more general observation than the one in the story: "Imagine how much more productive our economy would be if the political system lived up to the intention of the Founders."
