Dude, maybe you do work on patents and know your shit. But boy are you clueless about the video game industry.
I thought the man was joking then I saw his smooth brained response below. Software patents are cancer and shouldn't exist.
You think that patent abuse is right, and that's why everyone in this thread hates your comments. You think the system is fine. The fact that you are inside but can't understand how corporations abuse the system and think others are wrong or misinformed when they oppose this abuse, is troubling. You think we are ignorant or misinformed, but no, we do know how intellectual property works. We disagree and find it disgusting for moral reasons that it works that way. That's very different.

Fuck off corpo.
Lol, you're so petty. Trying to ride your magical high horse.
Now you're all riled up and acting stupid. You are the oh so claimed expert who works at patents offices. No, you tell me what does your majestic and awesome field of expertise do to prevent corporate abuse and patent trolling? Tell me, evangelize to me, convince me that the patent system has safeguards to prevent theft of intellectual work, how does patent enforcing works? what do you do, that you work there, to make it a more ethical field? what are the practices and procedures in place to avoid a corporation from using patents to monopolize, bully industries and stifle creativity and innovation?
