Why does macky get to be the only scientist spreading inanity on here? I want some of the action.
So, until about less than a month ago, patents were these things I read about in newsletters, heard about in conventions, and saw morons gloat about in pornographic films; and then continued to think to myself "what a pointless system for robbing ideas, ingenuity, and strapping down the only people trying to move the world forward".
Then I had to finally patent something myself. Now I'm left with "Who the fuck came up with this moronic system to steal ideas?" Not only does the system open up your backside to the entire world to blackmail you, steal your idea (even though the system was instated for the contrary!), and promote the updating of over 90% of concepts ever created thus giving silly rights to those who deserve them the least in rapidly growing markets, but I had to, on about 25 different occasions explain the same concept repeatedly, without alterations, to the same group of people, whose job was to do nothing better than to sit in the corner of a room, wear gigantic spectacles, and refer to dossiers about the different laws I might be breaking, or infringements I might be making.
For those of you unaware of the laws, you patent a system/idea/some other junk, as long as it's relevant to whatever insipid field you work in, and then miraculously, you have rights to it for 20 years. You could not do that, but then if you are in an environment where your product can be marketed or used, chances are someone will beat you to it. Then once you're done patenting, or getting beaten to the process by a few days, or losing the rights to it in a different country like Belgium where you might have forgotten to apply, or getting rejected and then having someone else patent the same, you get hordes of monkeys who couldn't figure up from down on their own phoning you at ungodly hours, asking for explanations, licensing or arguing about their moronic rights.
I submitted two patent applications, of which only one was accepted. The first patent was for a form of renewable energy during catalyzed reactions. The second was for a radical and silly cancer treatment concept, that I only submitted as a mockery of the system. The latter was accepted, because apparently metabolism is more important than anything nowadays. Look forward to my name publicized 18 months from now, on a patent that I wrote as a joke, while an ingenious idea, probably worth more to the average joe than cancer treatment, which will never materialize for the next 30 years, lies in the bottom shelf of some consultant's directory, in hopes that someday someone patents the cure for idiocy, releases the invention, and my paper is retrieved for reviewing again.
I'm pretty sure that whoever instated this demonic system probably stole the idea from some South African diamond miner's diary, just for irony's sake. Which brings me to the next point. I'm probably going to patent the concept of conglomerate patent trolling and/or patent ownership sponsorship for economic stability. I'll use some Ayn Rand quotes next time. Maybe then some office junkie will get a clue as to what is a joke and what is not.
