Well, but  have we then to switch to acceptance of this whole large heap of
USTPO and EPO issued patents related to Internet enviromnent and obviously
taken from public domain. This heap of patents simly documents and proves a
hopefully temporary gape between Internet scanning competence of patents
applicants and Patent Offices examiners. How to reach concensus on treatment
of this stuff? Otherwise we are exposed to strong lobbying to accept these
bad patents and, in this way to start millions of civil wars on this
nonsense patents.
