Sigh. Whatever this patent thing will be called, labelled, defined or whatever fact is that even the smallest part of it that survives will be lobbied back to the full potential the deep pocket companies with self interest motivations want it to be.

It seems only politicians are arrogant and ignorant enough to actually believe that they can outsmart companies that have played this kind of game longer then those politicians have been, or will be, in office.
Especially because those politicians get there "advise" from "experts" that are either mostly payed for to tell someone elses opinion or have other commercial motivations.

It's pretty simple actually. Just follow the money and see where you end up.

So the solution is quite simple. Dump the patent thing completely and first establish some rules about making certain desicion makers and advisors really accountable and liable for their actions.
