Are there no people in the US who review the current practice in the patent system against the original reasons for introducing patenting. In the first and only place patenting is there to protect investings in research and development of innovations! Why is this basic rule no longer taken into account in daily routines at the patent office?

Can anyone wake some people up to look into this matter? Why is this still the case? Please tell me we don't end up in an unhospitable world of patent terror by big and mighty companies. I hope there are people of reason to perceive the current practice has - to - change! Are there any congress members willing to take their responsibility for a justified and future proof reorganisation of the system?!
