I could guess where it started

I believe that Mr. Quinn says hello.

However, my understanding of his position may be wrong.

Oh, it appears to me that the Federal Circuit takes as an article of faith that
patents are a "good thing" and the clever arguments of those patent
attorneys was music to their ears. With the patent office it was a different
story, for a while. Until they got the "guidance" from on high, that
is.

Not that at this point it seems to make a lot of practical difference, of
course. But maybe it does, after all.

Note what the article on which we are commenting is about. Responses to the
patent office requests for methods to try to improve things. It seems that the
patent office sees big problems in what the patent office has been doing while
being told what to do and how to do it, by outside forces. Interesting.
