Wow – I went out of town for a few days and folks went a bit crazy with the unproductive comments.
It was all MM and 6’s fault.
lol, you’re too funny NWPA. Looks like even as an old man, you’re still a child at heart eh?
And you are Dennis the Menace.
On the 500th post to this thread, it is an interesting observation just how many of the 22 single digit lead-in posts are of the train-wreck variety by the master of AAOTWMD and his acolytes.
The stench of O’Bummer stacking the courts has reached the PTO:
We have an enterprise (i.e., the USPTO) that has 8,000 employees creating a product (i.e., patents) and has 300 employees destroying the same product in contested proceedings. His question: “How long can this “business model” last?” If a private sector company were engaged in the same behavior they would quickly be out of business. See Gene’s site.
See Gene’s site.
No thanks.
Malcolm prefers to throw up his various insults against Gene on this web site without actually visiting and reading what Gene has to say.
Let’s face it, MM has no rules. He says and does whatever he pleases on this board. MM’s world, which is re-created for each blog post.
He says and does whatever he pleases
I think it’s pretty funny that there’s an entire blog soley devoted to promoting More Easier to Enforce Patents All the Time! where skeptical folks like me are regularly shut down by commenters like you and quickly banned by the blog owner, yet somehow you still think it’s worth your time to come here and complain.
Shouldn’t you be busy trying to impeach some judges or something?
I must have missed that Malcolm – when were you banned over at IPWatchdog?**
Were you posting under (yet another) sockpuppet there?
Funny too – why do you complain so often of him, here?
What’s up with that?
.
** For those who are not aware of Gene’s banning policy: he does not ban those with different views and opinions, but he will ban you for false statements of law and for deceptive game playing. And that’s after a clear warning, too.
he will ban you for false statements of law and for deceptive game playing. And that’s after a clear warning, too.
LOL.
You two make a great pair. Keep on keeping Gene’s lap warm, Tr0llb0y. After all, it’s been nothing but victories for you two since you got started, right?
why do you complain so often of him, here?
Why do you care?
Get a life, clown.
Those don’t answer my questions.
Go figure.
“For those who are not aware of Gene’s banning policy: he does not ban those with different views and opinions”
He’s banned so many people for differing views and opinions it isn’t even funny.
LOL – 6, your belief structure is getting in the way or reality again.
It is not the differing views – it is how people go about those differing views.
What does your fancy psychology book say about people who refuse to accept reality (as you are doing)?
” See Gene’s site.”
Is IPwatchdog.com going out of business here shortly?
Try to make intelligent contributions. Try. 6. Try. Go and read the article and you will find that CJ Rader called the USPTO’s patent judges death squads.
CJ Rader called the USPTO’s patent judges death squads.
Run with that. It’ll make both you and Rader look really objective and thoughtful.
You are good at this game, MM. Too bad you don’t care about reality.
You are good at this game, MM
It’s not a game and it’s really pretty easy to wipe the floor with defenders of the indefensible like you and Rader.
…especially in that imaginary world that Malcolm inhabits, where his posts here save children running through grain fields at the edge of a cliff.
/eyeroll
his posts here save children running through grain fields at the edge of a cliff.
Interesting fantasy you have. Have you talked to your doctor about it?
Uh, no, he svucks at this game, unless by “good” you mean “not possessing factual knowledge or acute reasoning but only Clown Boy Alinsky-like ridicule like the old, shrivelled, one-trick pony from the Soviet era ’30s that he so obviously is”.
See, anyone can play that game. Can only assume it helps if you’re perpetually nursing a hangover but will have to wait for certain others to confirm this hypothesis.
I had to look up “Alinksy.”

I don’t think Malcolm quite qualifies, as he routinely violates Rules 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, and I don’t think he even know what 12 means.
anyone can play that game.
Indeed, Tourb.
Anytime you want to have a serious discussion about the current state of computer-implemented j*nk patenting in the US, I’m happy to oblige you.
On the other hand, if you just want to screech about the imaginary horrors that will follow if we tighten up the system a few notches, or if you simply wish to pound the table and cry that “computers are machines!” then you’ll be glad to know that there’s entire blogs devoted to doing just that.
Isn’t that special for you? Enjoy. And please take Tr0llb0y with you. You two seem to enjoy each other’s company. It’s sweet.
You know what is even sweeter?
Those who have the law, pound the law.
Those who have the facts, pound the facts.
Those who have neither, pound the table.
It’s a sweet trick how Malcolm pounds the table with his head in the sand.
“I don’t think Malcolm quite qualifies, as he routinely violates Rules 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, and I don’t think he even know what 12 means.”
Hey anon, why not make us a list?
No need to 6, the list is already there.
(um, I certainly hope that you are not projecting some psychosis to anybody who makes lists…. Do you include Ben Franklin as having that psychosis?)
“(um, I certainly hope that you are not projecting some psychosis to anybody who makes lists…. Do you include Ben Franklin as having that psychosis?)”
Nope, the making of lists (a lot) is just one symptom of many you display. It’s just interesting just how much of this particular symptom you display.
I tried to find the article, can you just post me a link?
NWPA,
I believe that 6 is asking for the direct items in paragraph 4 of
link to ipwatchdog.com
ah. Ok, he called them death sqauds. I like the name. I mean, to be clear, I’m not exactly pro-the death squads right now nor have I ever been. They’re a band-aid for a bigger issue. Imo, the business method and software scourge should have been dealt with in the office the first time around, and have never gotten started after State Street. The PTO should have resisted then so that it doesn’t find itself in the current cluster f.
Imo, if congress wants to fix the issue then fix it. Half-measures and band-aids are not the leadership we need from them.
Besides, don’t you get it? O’Bummer has found a way to end patents without Congress’s help. He just has to stack the Fed. Cir. and the PTO with death squads, and on one will bother to file a patent as it will be worthless to enforce. I don’t think you understand how quickly this strategy could work. We could see patent filings fall off by 50% in the short term.
This is consistent with what O’Bummer said that he would figure out ways to act without Congress. So, stack the PTO patent judges and the Fed. Cir. We should be able to tell the bought off ones by their favoring the pharma patents and hurting the ee/cs patents. Tarantula does this.
“This is consistent with what O’Bummer said that he would figure out ways to act without Congress.”
Good times. There was a reason the people filed the petition about software patents on the petition site. I rather hope he did take it seriously and acts.
“We should be able to tell the bought off ones by their favoring the pharma patents and hurting the ee/cs patents. Tarantula does this.”
Oh please, nobody gives two shts about ee patents in the way you’re implying. CS ones perhaps though. More power to them. We’re here to promote the useful arts, we can safely leave the others in the dustbin of patent history.
Well, Dopey, CS and EE patents are equivalent as we have been through many times.
So, you don’t care if the law is applied? That is what you are saying. What a sad commentary on our nation.
“ We’re here to promote the useful arts, we can safely leave the others in the dustbin of patent history.”
LOL – is ‘hypocrite” in your little psych book 6?
The offer still stands for you not to use any of the things that you do not consider to belong in the useful arts.
You don’t seem able to put your money where your mouth is though…
“Well, Dopey, CS and EE patents are equivalent as we have been through many times.”
Them being equivalent in function sometimes is neither here nor there unless you’re using a bunch of functional language just to describe functionally equivalent hardware to the software. I won’t particularly miss those kinds of EE patents either. Perchance they may survive anyway, perhaps by setting forth a few different embodiments to help display good possession of their functionally defined hardware.
To be sure there is no software “equivalent” to the EE patents I work on. Nor will their ever be. Maybe there are some EE patents that suffer from the same problems that software patents do. I presume there are since that was one of the original gripes of the guy that invented the B claim. Maybe those EE patents will go down with software patents shortly with the 112 case on the indefiniteness standard. Who knows?
To be clear, you guys all the time make a big stink about EE patents getting caught up with software patents going down but you’re never very specific about what EE patents you’re talking about. I’d be interested to see about 5 examples of EE patents that will supposedly be in jeopardy. To be sure, some small minority of them will certainly bite the dust, just the same as they do in my office currently under 101 or 112. But usually they just amend and are fine at least in my office.
“The offer still stands for you not to use any of the things that you do not consider to belong in the useful arts.”
Yeah I know. Your desire for interpersonal control is fast becoming legendary.
Not sure why you think that you showing fidelity to your belief system has anything whatsoever to do with what you are obsessing about being under my “interpersonal control.”
I am not indicating any control on my part. None.
Is “delusional” in your little psych book 6? Check yourself.
“I am not indicating any control on my part. None.”
You wish me to do something other than I’m currently doing correct? You’re taking an action, posting a comment inviting me to not do what I’m currently doing correct?
Think it through brosefus.
Not at all 6. My merely pointing out that most honorable people want to align their actions with what they profess.
Whether or not you do so is completely under your control.
But your not wanting to recognize that there are natural consequences to your actions is something more than a bit odd in itself. What does your little psych book say about that?
“But your not wanting to recognize that there are natural consequences to your actions is something more than a bit odd in itself. ”
Your hounding me or other people is not a “natural consequence” re re. Except in so far as your brain being psychopathic is perhaps “natural” and leads to that behavior in you.
But 6, you are misunderstanding again to think that I am hounding you.
Hmm, signs of paranoia are now manifesting. You might want to write that down before your other symptoms of delusional denial kick in.
“There was a reason the people filed the petition about software patents on the petition site.”
Remind us again how that worked out – just how many signatures short was that petition?
We could see patent filings fall off by 50% in the short term.
That would be a great start. I’m glad to hear that this potential reality is on the table and people should start getting used to the idea of drastic reductions in patent filings and grants. Fifty percent still doesn’t go far enough, of course, but like I said: it would be a start towards fixing a miserably broken, completely out-of-control patent system.
“That would be a great start”
How very Duell of you.
Who really cares about the Quid Pro Quo anyway…?
/facepalm
How very Duell of you.
Do any of “anon’s” fanboys have any idea what he’s talking about? If so, please help him communicate in plain English as he’s having one of his usual desperately incompetent moments.
Of course, it’s perfectly understood if nobody is willing to step up and help out a sick individual like anon.
Malcolm again with the
Accuse Oothers Of That Which Malcolm Does.
“having one of his usual desperately incompetent moments.”
Like your trainwreck moments – what, do you think that no one has noticed that Ned has slipped away?
T.
O.
O.
L.
do you think that no one has noticed that Ned has slipped away?
Please ask your nurse to explain to you the difference between typing comments on a blog versus having a conversation in an actual room filled with real people.
Is that anything like the use of HTML tags to add emphasis the same as shouting…?
LOL – Malcolm being Malcolm.
I wonder if CJ Smith had any recent visits to the White House where the business gang was there to express how grateful they would be if he burned down the patent system.
And if you guys haven’t figured it out yet, the reason to not put Chen before the Senate is that then she would be independent of O’Bummer. As it is, he is keeping his finger on her head.
LOL – but according to Malcolm, Hal Wegner has no right to speak on anything related to the violations of the 1998 Vacancies Reform Act since Hal did not agree with what the Red Queen/Humpty Dumpty wanted on the Prometheus case.
(yes, I know that such is irrational. 6 is still trying to find the right term in his psychology book, I think)
“the reason to not put Chen before the Senate is that then she would be independent of O’Bummer”
What are you talking about dude? She’s “independent” of him now. She likewise would be after senate confirmation as a director as well though of course. And, he’d always have his “finger on her head” if that’s supposed to mean he’s able to oversee her actions and fire her as he pleases.
“yes, I know that such is irrational. 6 is still trying to find the right term in his psychology book, I think”
You know that your own comment is irrational and/or sounds batsht insane but you posted it anyway? I’m pretty sure I don’t need a textbook to tell me a word or phrase for that. “Batsht insane” works.
“You know that your own comment is‘
Um, no, it is not. Look up ‘projecting’ in your psych book 6.
“and on one will bother to file a patent as it will be worthless to enforce.”
As soon as the filing rates plummet I’ll believe you when you say the sky will fall or is currently falling.
“I don’t think you understand how quickly this strategy could work.”
You seem to think that either a. people in the useful arts will be affected, at all, by obamas secrit conspiracy (which they wouldn’t be) or b. I would give two shts whether the filing rates in business methods/software plummeted (I would not).
In fact, I rather hope your conspiracy theory is correct. It’d make for an excellent story for his memoirs.
“We could see patent filings fall off by 50% in the short term.”
We could see filings fall off by 100% in the short term. You know, if a tsunami wipes the PTO (and all the satellite offices) off the face of the planet. Chances of that happening are pretty slim though.
6,
Your NIMBY views are a FAIL.
See link to patentdocs.org
Wake up son – all of the arguments against business methods and software patents will be used against any type of patent given that all types of patents are used in business and that software has such extensive utility (yes, 6, you are still invited to forego that utility).
“all of the arguments against business methods and software patents will be used against any type of patent ”
Setting aside your “given” because it isn’t required, sure those arguments will be used against other patents. They already are. And nobody much gives a dam, people amend a tad and go on with their getting a patent and enforcing it. It’s perfectly fine. And people making arguments ad absurdum like yourself are simply shut down. Nobody much cares.
“are simply shut down”
Hmm, 6, there is that symptom of yours again – delusion.
Maybe you need to read up on it a little…
I have a client whose religious beliefs forbid him from recognizing the enforceability of computer-implemented patents. He believes that every time such a patent is granted, a fetus dies.
Anybody see any problems with this defense to infringement?
It appears that some of the Supreme Court Justices are open to this sort of defense. Oddly enough, it’s mostly the Catholic men on the Court who feel this way.
Go figure.
?
Is there any tie whatsoever that can at least attempt to masquerade this religious insult?
this religious insult
Where’s the “insult”?
Is there any tie whatsoever
To Federal patent law, you mean? The “tie” is crystal clear from the original comment. What’s your problem? Did you overdose on your meds again?
presenting the identified entity with some very bizarre attribute
Are you insulting my client’s deeply held religious beliefs?
You disgust me.
Catholicism does not have the belief that you posted.
There is disgust here – just not how you think it is.
Catholicism does not have the belief that you posted.
I never said that it did.
You’re completely out of line here.
Catholicism does not have the belief that you posted.
I never said that it did.
Again: get your meds adjusted. Did you lose your psychiatrist’s phone number? If so, you’re mom probably has it.
Malcolm: “It appears that some of the Supreme Court Justices are open to this sort of defense. Oddly enough, it’s mostly the Catholic men on the Court who feel this way.”
M0r0n.
That’s just a statement of fact, Tr0llb0y.
But go ahead and keep digging. When you hit sewage, you’ll have found your home at last.
