I am not a lawyer

No. *You* write up something. Don't leave the
burden on him. You all can contribute. If
you feel you are not a writer, write it up
anyway, I'll put it in members only, and we'll
do a group project.

"some are even paid to stay put and not meet you half way"
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, October 14 2012 @ 11:02 PM EDT

If you truly believe the statement in the subject.... what makes you think such individuals will pay attention to something written even in Legal language?

Consider Gene Quinn apparently believes - against all his Legal training and experience - that the Federal Circuit overrules the Supremes.

And you really think authoring it in Legalese will make any difference?

In my humble opinion the target audience we want to reach is not the Patent Lawyers who wish to deliberately conflate Patent Law so math is patentable - it's everyone else. What percentage of society do you figure the Patent Lawyers make up? 0.05%? There's roughly 300 million people in the US. 0.05% would be roughly 155 thousand Patent Lawyers.

Why take so much effort to try and convince those paid not to be convinced?

I suggest far less effort can go to convincing everyone else - and that includes all those Lawyers willing to read "common language". If the greater public is convinced and speaks out - Congress will have no choice but be convinced.

In my humble opinion PolR did just fine without trying to speak the language of Lawyers of the type willing to argue "all doesn't mean all".
