The (software) patent law in the United States is a whole mess. 
It just helps big companies to ruin smaller ones, or even freeware or open source developers. US software patent law is *not* democratic. That's a shame in my opinion.
Sorry that I missed the topic, but I just wanted to say that.


Cheers, Mathias
