some patents take days to review - some have to be reviewed in context with other patents etc. So maybe 200 teacups each but the direction is definitely right.

- d2vid 14y agoI just went on to AskPatents and tried my hand at it: http://patents.stackexchange.com/questions/197/prior-art-for-style-and-layout-caching-of-web-content/239#239 http://patents.stackexchange.com/questions/197/prior-art-for... I'm not doing anything close to as good a job as a patent examiner would do, but with about an hour of work I (hopefully) was able to start pointing to some prior art that could get an examiner quickly up to speed on what the state of the art is. I agree the amount of work involved to comprehensively invalidate a patent would be days - hopefully a group can do the same with shorter time contributions.
- fpgeek 14y agoUnless the rules are different for this process, every piece of prior art that you point to now that an examiner doesn't agree with / understand is a piece of prior art that can't be reused further down the line (e.g. in a trial).
