The US patent office is overwhelmed, and acting like it's under a DoS
attack.  I agree it would be great if we all offered technical
assistance, but not as the IETF.  If needed we could create some other
organization.  Let the IETF have a clear focus.

I've heard claims that the patent office will be switching to a European-style
"first-to-file" process, rather than the current "first-to-invent".  Would this
make matters better or worse?
