The Open Source as Prior Art Discussion Begins (Groklaw)
[Posted January 13, 2006 by ris]
Groklaw takes a
look at the Open Source as
Prior Art Project. "It's easier to want to have something crash
if you are not one of the likely first victims. The US patent system is
broken. Everyone knows it. It's a runaway train. And in my opinion, it's
heading toward FOSS, not because it should, but because some have SCO-like
desires to work the system to target it, to slow down Linux and FOSS
adoption. There haven't been enough trained USPTO examiners. And it's hard
for them to find prior art, for reasons I'll explain."
