Website Attempts To Generate Every Possible Patentable Invention (allpriorart.com)

An anonymous reader writes: All Prior Art is a project attempting to algorithmically create and publicly publish all possible new prior art, thereby making the published concepts not patent-able. The concept is to democratize ideas and to preempt patent trolls. The work is released on-line and in files of 10,000 ideas under a creative commons license. The system works by pulling text from the entire database of US issued and published (un-approved) patents and creating prior art from the patent language. While most inventions generated will be nonsensical, the cost to computationally create and publish millions of ideas is nearly zero -- which allows for a higher probability of possible valid prior art.

Anonymous Coward that should NEVER EVER pretend to practice law said:
"If they mention the patents in question and you ignore the letter, you get to pay for "willful" infringement instead of just infringement, which is much worse."

No.

Using imprecise words and just spreading misinformation and fearmongering. Better you would have just kept quiet. Didn't even have the decency to sign your name.

A "mention" in a "letter" is nothing.

If they serve you legal notice as per Rule 4.1 (US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) then you can respond as appropriate.
If they send you a letter and "mention" things (whatever the hell that means) you can safely use it as kindling for your weekend campfire.

There are a lot of lawyers. Some actors play them on TV and in the movies. If you want to be one, just go do the whole law-school,
bar-exam thing.

Don't make up shit on slashdot. It's something people like to do... but it's not good to spread FUD and misinformation.
