"... In short, patents have clearly been at the heart of successive waves of critically important American commercial innovation and continue to make enormous contributions to the American economy.
But today, unfortunately, U.S. patent rights are under serious threat.
For starters, a series of Supreme Court decisions over the last 15 years have made it harder to obtain and defend a patent."
-- Erosion of Patent Rights Is a Threat to Innovation and American Prosperity
Another "erosion" opinion piece is here.
Is it merely slow erosion and the start of a new Grand Canyon or more like the start of a catastrophic mud slide?
BY the time it's over, it will be too late.
Whole generations of would-be American inventors will have turned to other pursuits.
Why bother if the new socialist republic of Faux America steals your invention after fooling you into filing for illusory patent rights?
