good artists copy, great artists steal a blog post by Jonathan Schwartz (former Sun CEO) - says what I have heard many people say, but he puts it in elegant simple terms with a up close personal perspective. A great read about patents, and IP and how they are used.

Yes! Great read.
One of my cycling friends makes a good bit of money testifying in patent cases, and he describes the process as you file a provisional open to amendment, then as you see the field evolve you amend, and strike against a big player with a small enough amount that you can get a payoff.
If we're going to continue the strong pace of innovation, we've got to reform the patent system.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
