Gregnews rants against NYT "anti-business patents editorial"

[PILCH Hartmut <phm@a2e.de>]

GregNews slams an "Anti-Business Patent Editorial" of the New York Times, with
the usual claims about how "unscientific" any attempt to limit patentability 
is.

I leave out the GregNews rants and just quote some of the quotes from NYT:

[...rant...]

    "The broken American system has a knack for sanctioning the
    ridiculous.  In the latest example, businesses are receiving
    patents for devising ways to obey the law - the code, to be
    more specific.  What's next, a patented murder defense?"

[...rant...]

    "Once the Patent and Trademark Office has granted one of these
    patents, everyone who used the same legal shelter - even if
    they drew the conclusion based on their own interpretation of
    the tax code - would be subject to lawsuits and even injunctions
    against using the method."

[...rant...]

    "Tax-strategy patents, they argue [supporters of such patents],
    are more geared toward the complicated tax returns of rich
    people." and "The easy stuff [obvious methods] should be 
    rejected under the usual standard that requires patents to be
    novel and not obvious."

[...rant...]

I can't find anything like this on
