It's not so much lazy as overworked & under incentivized (is that really a word?). This whole mess with obvious patents started the same time the USPTO's directive changed from 'deny by default' to 'approve by default'. Once big corporations realized that the standard of 'non-obvious'ness had changed, they started submitting patents in mass, and the peons at the USPTO are now seriously overworked without the resources to do their jobs the way they're supposed to. The head of the USPTO simply refuses to see the problems which are becoming more and more obvious, taking the tact that if a patent has been approved, it must be valid, since there can't be anything wrong with HIS system. - Theo -----Original Message----- From: Didier PH Martin [mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 10:20 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Re: we owe SUN? Hi Dimitre [Dimitre said] It is very likely there's still no patent for the Divide and Conquer algorithmic principle, not to speak about generic templates and XPath Visualizers that use an axiom from set theory, in their algorithm... I'm starting to write patent applications immediately :o)) [Didier replies] You know Dimitre, after seeing how lazy the patent office people are, we could probably obtain a patent for the air composition. This will be a big payoff for sure :-)) cheers Didier XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
