Guys, I just hope that we are not going to bear witness to the patent troll type of activity that might just be beginning. The one where a continuous stream of lawsuits prevent progress. These developments are much too important to the future of man as well as the world for us to allow this. Open source would be a great idea, but there are many that are too greedy to share.
So many years have gone by in pursuit of our goal that anyone now claiming to own much of the work is borrowing from many others. How do we reward P&F for their contributions in a fair manner along with the large number of others that have made key contributions? Patents should be seriously restricted in the field and not allowed to slow down development. Rewards should come to those that make great products and improvements as long as they does not seriously impede progress.

No patent is defendable at this stage. I believe that Piantelli, Rossi et al. are wasting their time and money fighting over patents. The real value will come later after the process is understood and can be applied in the most efficient way. We are too far from this goal to patent anything.
