I already said I didn't know whether it was true or not, and it does have the
ring of being apocryphal. However, that doesn't change my opinion that the
USPTO should be closed now or severely re-organized. It is corrupt, lethargic,
and incompetent. Unfortunately, an average person has the impression that a
patent gives the imprimatur of credibility, which is why, I suppose this
expensive joke is allow to continue.
