government. this bill reeks and patents should remain in

possesion of the creator and NOT left to the interpretation

of courts or a regulating body. This is an attempt to

protect large corporate infringers of patents to weasel

ther way out of infringement claims. This bill sounds

like a ``you use it, you own it`` proposal. Most patent

creators do not have ``corporate resources`` to manufacture

or market an ``idea``. How many coporations have gone after

the little guy for infringement? It is the only vehicle

an inventor can use to protect himself and his idea.

The courts are going to take this away? Because europe

does it? Because campaign contributors and lobbyist want more profit with out infringement recourse?

I hope this bill is not passed.
