Henning;
The current issue of The Economist discusses the state of the current
patent system. It refers to a site www.bustpatents.com, which may be of
interest in this regard.
As usual, the articles there are useless, because:
Only a very small percentage of those participating in writing
the articles have much detailed knowledge about technical
realities of the Internet
A very large percentage of those participating in writing
the articles increase their income a lot, if business model
patents were valid
They lack international perspective, even though there is
a small number of references to non-US patent systems.
