I think these patent claim jumping hill-billies need to wake up. I also think the US Patent office should adopt some new policies where the item/process being patented should be in existance. It is not fair for people to create patents on items/technologies that are not even developed yet at the time the patent was submitted. If so, watch out US Patent office as I wish to patent the transporter system which breaks down solid matter and transport them to another location. Or maybe a patent for the creation a Hyper-Drive which allows a spaceship to travel long distances in a short amount of time.
Again patents do not make sense unless the item/process is in existance.
