How successful pond scum that have never seen a non-invention that they think is
not only patentable, but can be used for their racketeering and extortion
activities, will be in sabotaging Stack Overflow, depends upon whether or not
moderators have the power to delete posts.
If moderators have the power to delete posts, then it will be a cesspool of zero
value. The good data will be repeatedly deleted.
If moderators do not have the power to delete posts, then good data will, at
least in theory, be available, even if ten million posts declaiming the validity
are put there by those who are paid to terminally ignorant of everything but the
dictates of a semi-regular paycheck. The "useful idiots" that are
needed to delude the masses into thinking that non-inventions are real
inventions.
A secondary issue is how easy scraping the site will be.
If real time scraping is permitted, then. in theory, if not in practice, mirror
sites will be created, and archived. These sites would be extremely useful if
they don't delete data.
I can see some organizations, and not necessarily big ones, duplicating the site
from day one, simply to "hide" the research they do, to void specific
patents. Keep their version in-house, and behind a firewall or two. Release
their findings in drips and drabs, anonymously, from sites that have no
connection to them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I also had concerns, but never stopped to think them out.
You have done a
well thought out and very articulate job. I
would hope Mark Webbnik sees that
as PJ has informed us that
he is Executive Direction of the Center for Patent
Innovations, the home of Peer To Patent.
Your description of how things
go on Slashdot precisely
matches my own observations. After many years as a
regular
there, I finally forced myself to stop visiting Slashdot a
couple of
years ago because all it ever did was upset me.

Since the USPTO is actually in the business of selling
licenses to launch megadollar lawsuits, I really don't see
how this will solve any of the problems that the USPTO has.
If the USPTO sees no difference between any of the patent
applications they receive - they basically accept all of
them, it seems, how can they possibly tell the difference
between honest and fake postings?
