Back to patents. This scientist offers a simple solution:

Explicitly make patents something "a person with ordinary skill in the art" shall be expected to have read.

This item I read last night doesn't deal with patents, so can perhaps only be said as peripherally related, though it does directly relate to our bailing out of already wealthy corporations, particularly banking corporations. It also deals with some of the history of the U.S., and how one of our core problems is that private bankers are controlling our money supply through a quasi-public central bank: Restoring Our Financial Sovereignty: A New Monetary System. If you follow any of the references or links, one that appears near the end of the article looks interesting to me, but that I haven't had time to study in detail: The American Monetary Institute. There are some links on that page that directly relate to topics I've mentioned in the above post. A particularly notable (to me) link: PDF: The American Monetary Act which claims to be ready for the legislative process.

While this "patent news item" doesn't have a local focus in the U.S., it's certainly related to the above topic, and seems to have a number of themes that I've hopefully expressed on this blog, particularly the fact we now seem to have a global transnational business class (corporations) that are trumping more localized laws citizens set in place over years and centuries to protect ourselves from a variety of dangers history has taught us are not to our communal interest and benefit.

Here's the patent news item: "If the law is inconvenient, unelected bodies just change the rules?"
