Re: Microsoft proposed patent reform: first to file.....???

     Two Words:
 
     Prior
     Art
 
     If you can't afford to patent it and it isn't a trade secret why not 
publicize the
     innovation. Make the point about it being blindingly obvious just so no one
     can claim it isn't.
     Do it properly, you queer the Lemelson style patent mill IIRC and M$ can go
     pound sand.
     Hmmm, might be useful to have a 'zine entitled something like Prior Art
     dedicated to doing things like that.
