Patents and Comments
The comments on “Patents and Innovation” and “New Products, Emerging from Chaos” have been really good. I want to draw your attention to them, because I’m impressed at how much has been added.
I’m really enjoying the feedback, and the ability to continue a thread that’s emerged from a comment. I’m also curious what I can do to encourage more comments and interaction?
[Update: Speaking of patents, Rob Sama sent me a link to a Wall St Journal editorial that was published this morning, entitled “Patently Absurd:”
The bitter legal fight over BlackBerry patents may soon inconvenience millions of users of that handheld email device. But that’s nothing compared to the damage that a broken U.S. patent system is doing to the larger American economy.]
(Wright Bros patent #831, 393 from First to Fly.)
For an alternate perspective on the WSJ’s “Blame the (patent) Lawyers”: http://promotetheprogress.com/archives/2006/03/wall_street_jou_3.html
Shouldn’t that be promoteTeHprogress®?
