Promoting progress - what are we doing?

Matt raises some interesting questions on all the patent reform/rules nonsense going on these days out East.  Worth a read and some thought about what “we” are bringing about in our patent system here in the U.S.

Our patent system has two primary purposes -

1. To encourage disclosure of inventions, and

2. To encourage development of new ideas by fostering design around efforts

Seems to me our great, world-leading patent system is now failing to achieve these purposes in at least two regards...with a third complication on the horizon…
