European software patents via treaty?European software patents via treaty?Posted May 13, 2008 20:09 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510)In reply to: European software patents via treaty? by ohrn Parent article: European software patents via treaty? It's easy to eavesdrop a standards group email list, and file patents as things go by, under the U.S. system. There has been no criminal prosecution for lying on a patent application since 1974, although it has the same penalty as other forms of perjury. There is no plan to introduce an enforcement office back into USPTO, so no prosecution is in sight in the future. Want to make money fast? That's how. You just have to be a little dishonest. Nobody cares enough to prosecute you, so it's risk-free. Bruce
