billvon 3,120 #27 August 29, 2002 >An Idea is only profitable before you tell someone and the patent >office has your request for patent 1st. Patents mean next to nothing nowadays. Nonsense patents are often issued that a) invalidate new patents and b) get voided almost immediately when they are challenged. The patent office simply doesn't have the resources to check out each patent for validity and originiality. The popular conception - "have an idea, get a patent, make a million dollars" doesn't make much sense. Might as well say "go to the bank, open an account, have a million dollars in it." There's a very big step between 2 and 3 in both cases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
