incooperation instead of competition, but it sure looks like things are not
going to
change soon.:-(

I don't think that things are quite that bleak. For myself I do not see patents
asa money making enterprise, only as a "necessary evil" in rare instances. I
have
2 new products that I will introduce this year, neither will be patented.
This makes me think... I could do like those rich homeowners do and put a
little sign in my front yard about a secirity system. So now I have to make
Patent Pending labels. I don't think anybody would ever care let alone
check!:-)
