Clearly you have never prosecuted a patent application. Yes, examiners make mistakes sometimes, and patents issue that shouldn't. But your statement is just nowhere near being true.
- waqf 15y agoI agree that GP overstated the problem, but I think you understate it. The USPTO systematically and recklessly grants patents that should not be issued.
- monochromatic 15y agoI think most patent grants are reasonable enough... the problem is that HN only ever hears about the really egregious cases.
