Article One asserts prior art on Worlds.com patent

Every time I read about this horse shit, my first reaction is "What, are they STILL waffling on about it?"

Seriously, this is a prime example of how our legal system is so screwed up. A functional and practical legal system would have laughed in this things face, drank its milkshake and booted it out the door in the first five minutes. Yet it's still going on how many months down the line?

No, this is yet another example of how the patent (and copyright) system are broken. This has nothing to do with the legal system, but with systems that stifle creativity and innovation. Both copyright and patents have been abused for many years now, and it's actually become a business for many companies and lawyers who do nothing but sue over patents they own, not creating any products, but simply suing others who do the work and do become successful. That's not what the copyright and patent systems were suppose to be about, yet, it's what they have become.

Yup. Patent and copyright systems are a joke now, but it involves too much money and most political groups won't touch it.

I mean some organics are patented. Corn for example.

It's only a matter of time because some judge allows a human to be patented. Only then would patents and copyrights finally be looked at, but then it'll probably be too late.
