On: Am I evil, or is killing patents just plain fun?

You are implying that the US patent office is a profit oriented organization. Even if this is practice, it should be possible to fix that, no?

Also I disagree with that it's a self perpetuating cycle. It is only self perpetuating if your reaction to more applications is being less rigorous. Almost every organization in the world, no matter if it is profit or non-profit, gets more rigorous the more * applications come in.

Somehow you are right but I think the root cause is something else.

They get more money from processing more patents. They don't get more money by making sure the patents are better quality.

It is - as someone else in the thread mentioned it makes a profit from each patent granted.
