Always nice to hear.

Anyway, the existence and regulation of intellectual property by central authorities (and consequent prohibition on copying mere information freely) is antiethical to bitcoin and not something to be excited about.

I donated to this cause. Arthur Van Pelt is a badass and we need to name CSW go away for good.

Patent Wars

Calvin Ayre announced that the Patent Wars would start this year. Together with Patent Lawyer David Pearce I'm making sure Calvin's prediction will come true this time.

I just filed an Opposition to one of Craig's patents at EPO.

I'm calling for support of the community here. This is a lengthy (~18 unpaid months of correspondence, possibly hearings) and costly (filing fee EUR 840) procedure. Is anyone out there willing to help, so your name will be added to the Patent Wars Hall Of Eternal Fame? 🙂
