Andrew:
Thank you for your article. Briefly, many now say Microsoft is already anti-patent based on their support of the proposed US patent law changes. These changes are primarily backed and supported by large multi-national companies. Most all others are on record as opposing the changes. My experience has been that the only other parties pushing for change in US patent law are those who have no personal experience with it. They have never invented or filed for anything and do not understand it, yet they are quick to criticize the system with no prior knowledge or experience in it. Go figure!
regards,
Steve
