My point is that many bad patents are never invalidated, because of the extreme expense of invalidating even the worst among them. That high cost prevents actual innovators, like startups, from getting to the table. You have a problem with me only naming one bad patent? You still haven't pointed to a shred of evidence (except that you've "seen it . . . A LOT") that the patent system furthers innovation.

And I can absolutely have it both ways about specialist and nonspecialist courts. They are separate problems. The CAFC's problem is capture; your assumption that patent attorneys who specialize in defense are more likely to be anti-patent is baseless. The problem with nonspecialist courts is that patent attorneys are *writing* for specialists, not for engineers or ordinary people. Take a competent programmer and give him a stack of 100 software patents in his field, and I'll bet you he can confidently say he understands and could implement 5 of them as specified.

I do believe innovation is furthered by patents.


Mar Cuban disagrees with you(at least as it relates to software and process patents)

Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune.
Good doc about protest movements of the era that captures the relationship between music, creativity and politics quite well.
An extraordinary life, a moving tribute.
