I canceled my subscription. Not because of the price increase but the cavalier manner in which the increase was communicated. The presumptuous email re: the increase really pissed me off. It has also made more more careful with communicatio

My Plan B : Only one parameter is changed, everything else stays the same. The parameter that is changed is how long the patent lasts. And that is determined by the pace of innovation ("number of patents / yr") being awarded in that catego
