I really like that idea, I am sure I am missing some important part that makes it not so easy to do. When you file a patent for invention like (dishwasher) you have to supply all the design drawings for the project. I do not see why they could not do that with software patents.

Look at some patents, such as http://www.google.com/patents?id=TdUkAAAAEBAJ&zoom=4&dq=2600548&pg=PA3#v=onepage&q=2600548&f=false http://www.google.com/patents?id=TdUkAAAAEBAJ&zoom=4&... . Notice that the drawings for that showshoe binding patent are not "design drawings" for a snowshoe binding. (Those drawings are lacking a lot of dimensions that one would need for such a product.) You have to provide information that tells someone skilled in the art how to do what you claimed. That's it. FWIW, "What you claimed" is rarely a complete product. Instead, it's an aspect that can be used in multiple products. (While I don't know where else one might use that snowboard binding mechanism, I'm sure that someone else does.)
