you can find an article that quotes a lot of executives of large companies
as saying that blanket patenting is no longer worth the money it costs and
instead these companies are aiming at a mixture of patenting and
preventive publishing.  Some speculate about a collapse of the patent
system due to its increasing lack of overseeability.  I am also quoted in
the function of an Eurolinux speaker.
