As I understand it, the full details of patent applications are published for public scrutiny as part of the application process. If so, then how is it that we are only getting to hear about these patents after they have been granted ?
If we can get at the patents applications earlier, perhaps we should examine the patents for novelty and obviousness. The net, (or maybe just slashdot) certainly has enough eyeballs.
