Despite what some critics of the patent system demand, it is not
reasonable
(and may not be even possible) to perfor
m the examinations necessary
to assure
that all patents issued are really valid in light of the prior art. It
would be far
too expensive to conduct a prior art search that includes all
relevant art
throughout the world, even if such art was somehow available.

I was a member of the IEEE for more than 30 years before I began paying
attention to our positions on intellectual property. I disagree so completely
with them that I have a hard time understanding the motivations of the members
who serve on the committees that define those positions.
From work I can access IEEE publications, but they make it hard if you don't
have a university affiliation.
I dropped my membership when I decided that the organization was not serving me,
progress or civilization in general.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
