This isn't the first time that it has been proposed that patents remain secret.
However, the rational here is as pathetic as the one used to justify stamping
patents "top secret" and/or "eyes only".
My guess is that a patent troll just saw that its protfolio was about to drop by
several billion dollars, and to preserve their criminal enterprise, is handing
out bribes to those willing to preserve their extortion and racketeering
business.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It's already too dangerous for developers to ever look at patents, it can triple
their liability if they are ever eventually found to infringe. It's not worth
the meager benefits that revealing the tech behind the patent is supposed to
provide. Some of my former employers advised me to never look at U.S. patents
because it wasn't worth the risk.
If this becomes law, it will just drive more innovation out of the U.S. and into
countries where actual R&D is not as dangerous (i.e. less chance of being
patent-trolled out of existence).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
