I disagree, been there, done that. If you've worked with the patent system or journeyman scientists in any institution you can meld them to your objective.
You are probably right about this. Opponents of cold fusion have worked closely with the patent system, and they have melded it to their objectives. They did this by various methods including harassing and firing patent office employees. They reject patents for absurd reasons that would never be applied normally.
As you suggest, the patent system is politicized. Unfortunately our political enemies got there first, and they have taken over the institution. As things stand, I do not see how we can fight them. I think it is a mistake to attack the enemy in his stronghold.
