Just when I was hoping we might see some patent law reform, I heard this
story on proposed changes to the patent system:
http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/03/10/patent_law/
It would award patents to the first entity to file a patent application,
not the entity to first use a patented idea. Would this basically
abolish "prior art"?
This is getting ugly.
