Interresting article, the presidentials canditates don't have a clear
position on soft patents.

The article talks about Eric Maskin and technologist James Bessen, then
at the end:

> One would think it not too much to ask that Washington have good
> reason before it hands out monopolies. One would also think, IN THE
> FACE OF GROWING SKEPTICISM ABOUT THESE MONOPOLIES, that more
> politicians would demand such a reason before allowing this regulation
> to continue. And one would think, given what's at stake, that this
> issue would merit at least some attention from the presidential
> candidates.

Underline the fact that US is not consistent with itself when it ask to
the extention of a pratcice that face a growing skepticism.
