It doesn't have to be *more* useful. You can still
patent "a different mousetrap", without proving that
it is indeed "a better mousetrap". To argue that
something is useful, you just have to present one
witness that is willing to testify that "yes, this
is useful to me". It only needs to work, it doesn't
have to be good. Or did I misunderstand this?
