     @fsf The reason the US Constitution gives for the PTO is to promote science and the arts. There are many areas, where grating a patent, a trademark, or a copyright runs dead against that raison d'etre.
     On my list of things to spend my lottery winnings on (if I ever buy a ticket) is to pick a patent that fits in that class and sue it out of existance.
