Subject: [Patents] 'Antipatents' suggestion discussed on slashdot.

http://slashdot.org/articles/00/09/01/2039205.shtml
http://voice.media.org/essays/patent.html

``Antipatents are simple, a registration mechanism for your open-source
inventions.  ... Taking the time to document the antipatent prevents some
clueless corporation from making it their property.  Perhaps a handsome
certificate, suitable for framing, can be sent with each antipatent for a
modest fee.' Hargrave and Malamud also call for a formal way for the
community at large to shout down 'clueless patents.'" Sounds good to me.''
