news "magazines" publish patent nonsense as well

Continuing in PHOSITA’s tradition of ranting on patent press release nonsense, Matt Buchanan of the Promote the Progress blog “rants” on the failure of C|Net to appropriately fact check a story on the patent reform discussions taking place.

Opps.  Fact check when it comes to technology and patents?  What fun would that be?

Matt is doing a fantastic job collecting, collating and commenting on the draft legislation and hearings taking place.  Well worth a visit through his archives.

I dare a senator or congressman to say during the next wave of hearings that we are going to start printing patents on lamb skins again. 

If we are really lucky, we might get to see an article in a Sheep Farming magazine speak out on the driving need for such reform and the contrary opinion from PETA. Maybe the pulp industry could then get in on the action and make their opinion known as well. 

Mark my words – it will happen.
