I won't send a letter to the USPTO, or Congress, or any other government entity for that matter, regarding patents. Instead I will amass a great deal of influence and wealth by purchasing and applying for and litigating on patents, and then I will use this wealth to pay for special interests groups that will fight on my behalf (and ensure that I can) continue to do so. Good Day!

- Aetius 16y agoGreat idea! I'll be sure to implement this in my next venture. Seriously though, does anyone really believe that writing a letter will get something done? Change in Washington, especially for esoteric topics like this, has a cost, and that cost is tribute paid to lobbyists.
