Even Uncle Sam admits: US patent law is whack

FTC politely tells PTO: fix your crappy rules

"The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is calling on the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to overhaul its rules on licensing intellectual property.

In an open letter [PDF] to the PTO, the FTC called on its fellow organization to simplify patent law."

That is funny. Especially the line about how the US is telling other countries how theirs are messed up.

makes me smile.

I hope the FTC's letter includes the words "burn it to the ground".

One of the reasons I like my current job so much better than my old job: I don't have to deal with patent crap. Just awful.
