| Judge blasts colleagues for allowing financial patent |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-07-14 11:52:24 |
| "The nation's top patent court has stopped a lower court from throwing out four patents on financial software, used to sue a bank dealing in foreign currency exchanges. The controversial opinion, countered by a blistering dissent by one member of the three-judge panel, shows that the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is in disarray about just what is patentable. An 'abstract idea' can't win a patent, but the judges on the court are in disagreement about just what that is." It seems that US judges are getting more and more vocal about the US Patent Mess. Interesting. |

| My paraphrase was ironic, because I don't think the US Patdown System has exhausted its supply of stupid yet. When (if) that supply is exhausted, then we'll see common sense being applied consistently. |

I agree - I said optimistic in the long term. I fear that only after much damage is done and greed and stupidity has run its cause will be see sense prevail. The fact that I see sense ultimately prevailing is optimistic at least in a limited sense. |

| Or maybe that is a lack of (your) common sense? ;p |
