Congress patently lost

January 19th, 2003 § 2

In an ironic turn of events, the USA Congress finds itself in a delicate position regarding patents. Over the past year, its members and key staff have become reliant on Blackberry, a wireless mobile device that handles e-mail. Now, the Canadian company that produces the device was found to be violating a patent held by a USA company, and the House is trying to get both companies to settle their differences in a way that allows it to preserve the $6 million investiment in the technology.

Well, I hope the Congress can learn from this, and apply the lesson when the time comes to pass new legislation on patents.
