What happened to the days when...
You were granted patents on things you INVENTED, not things you thought you MIGHT invent, eventually, maybe, in some fashion?

My Grandfather had several patents on farm equipment back in the 50's/60's. The difference is, he actually invented, designed, built and SOLD these devices. They were REAL, not imaginary.

This patenting of idea's only is pure crap.
