..biggest flaw in this survey, is the implied assumption patent is necessary for every business.
Authored by: arnt on Tuesday, July 17 2012 @ 11:49 AM EDT
..that's patently wrong. Justice is all we need.

..and, we would get that by proper legislation,
by proper compliance to the laws,
by proper application of the laws and
by proper enforcement of the laws.

Can't find the survey
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, July 17 2012 @ 01:33 PM EDT
Hi,

The link the bitly refers me to is:
https://sites.google.com/site/patentlitsurvey/

But there seems to be no survey, link to any survey, or instructions as to how
to take the survey. Just the page which pj has quoted.

Regards,
Karl O. Pinc <kop@meme.com>

No Patent Demands But ...
Authored by: sk43 on Tuesday, July 17 2012 @ 08:54 PM EDT
Many years ago one software project I worked on was hit with a trademark cease
and desist demand - the informal name for one of our programs (used only
internally) was also a company's name. The search engines somehow decided that
we were still more interesting than the commercial company. Our lawyers
examined the situation ... and immediately waved the white flag. Spent two
weeks renaming everything.

I also think the place I work was sent one of SCO's threatening letters - in any
case, I was told that SCO had sued IBM for copyright infringement (not actually
true at the time) and I was to track all Linux usage until 6 months after the
lawsuit was resolved. That was over 9 years ago, and I'm still tracking,
reading GL every day from work to determine when the 6 month timer starts.

Wont the results be biased?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, July 18 2012 @ 10:42 AM EDT
If you let respondents self select, wont you get responses mostly from angry,
motivated people and get no responses from people who have not been adversely
effected?


Seems like a very poor way to do a survey to me.
