text: The laws for the patent process are completely outdated.  In addition, the trolls called patent attorneys have figured out that they can make a lot of money by just filing tons of patents covering very generic processes/inventions/meds.  They then sit back and wait for someone to actually "INVENT" something and watch it be built with effort and dollars and promoted and sold to market and make a profit.  Then they come in and sue for their rights because they made the patent.\n\nIn addition, they advertise for those having patents and try to drum up business like ambulance chasers.
