In an application I developed in 1994-6, "Palimpsest" you could cut and paste the links (I called them "cross references") and annotations, which had rich meta data in them. You could "tag" links and annotations with "labels", links and annotations had creators, creation dates, etc. All this data was maintained when copying and pasting within the app.
But not on the system pasteboard? I don't think the difference is significant, but it seems to me the application claims it is (indeed, imagine next-generation desktop functionality where one could paste metadata long with content). I've gotten two pieces of information/suggestions: 1) On formal process: "To have your materials considered during the substantive examination process, you'll want to file your prior art under rule 1.99 which is for post-publication protest. It requires payment of a fee and does not allow you to provide commentary on the prior art submissions but Rule 1.291 submissions have to be done before publication.." Not sure what the fee is, but it's telling that you have to pay one! 2) More informal: a number of people suggested writing an article for Groklaw. Problem is I'm not competent enough in patent law to do that.
