Our Friends at the Patent Office

Though the SEC received most of the attention in the fight to liberate key government databases (the New York Times called it the "world's most valuable financial database"), in some ways the Patent database is even more valuable. Our Patent system is one of intellectual property: you file a patent, people see that you filed a patent, and they give you money to use that patent.

A Patent database is the very fuel that keeps the intellectual property system going. It is mind-boggling that the Patent office can't see that simple fact.
