Overly Broad Patents Mucking Up Business

Altogther now, let's not create a chilling effect on new business by patenting stuff that shouldn't be patented....

(I am reminded of arguments I had as a little kid where I told someone that I made up the words 'Shut up' and that therefore they couldn't use it. I did not for the record make up that phrase, though my older brother made claim to it using the enforcement mechanism of both noogies and wedgies.)

Heh

IP enforcement with noogies and wedgies is probably better than lawsuits, IMHO
