Innovation and access to MONEY! LOTS OF MONEY!
> "The Patent Office is supposed to promote innovation and access to knowledge"
The US Patent Office is only there to create tools for Patent Trolls to do business with. As the article already said, the Patent Office's only concern is to increase fee collection patent application, so anything goes. The number of patents disrespecting the requirements of novelty/innovation and lack of prior art are astounding: If you pay enough, you can patent about anything.
I wonder why nobody hasn't patented fire or the wheel yet, they'd be good moneymakers...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
