I don't understand this patent world. From everything I've read, it is obvious to me that I could get about 5 patents out of every casual conversation I have with my fellow grad students each day. Is everyone in the judicial system completely oblivious to this insanity?
- tumult 17y agoYes. Also, if your livelihood comes from the judicial system, it's in your best interest to keep it active.
- jedberg 17y agoDon't forget you need about $10K to file each idea as well. That is probably the biggest barrier to entry.
- dagw 17y agoAccepting patents is a lot less paper work for the patent office than rejecting a patent. You need to give a good reason to reject a patent, but no reason to accept a patent. Their basic operating theory seems to be accept them all and let the lawyers sort it out.
