A year or two ago, the US economy was sufficiently bouyant that this nonsense could perhaps be shrugged off. I don't think that's true now. If America wants to come out of this recession, it has to sort out its patent system. Otherwise, I'm afraid, the future belongs to countries where you can create something without being bled dry by legal parasites.
