Patents maybe made sense a century ago with much fewer people and companies on the planet. Oh, and no internet. Today it's just a detriment to human progress.

- o_nate 11y agoI agree. Every article like this just makes me hate the current patent system more. What a waste of human resources to document every little business process and generate tons of paperwork just to build up a portfolio to fight off patent trolls. I don't know if a moratorium on new patents is what we need, but something needs to change.
