Patents Shrugged Redux

[ECTNews]

 In Atlas Shrugged, innovators are penalized for their creativity, and their rewards are indiscriminately distributed to the worthy and unworthy, leading inevitably to the breakdown of the entire economic system. The new patent bills being considered by Congress likewise interrupt the economic reward system initiated by the founders of the U.S., create new delaying tactics to deny innovators their day in court, and unnecessarily eliminate laws favoring inventors and small companies. If enacted, these patent "reform" bills will wreak havoc on the American inventor community.
