The thicket is easy to see. What's hard is getting out of it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://myownpirateradio.com/2006/04/17/ip-squatting/ " rel="nofollow"&gt;One possible partial solution&lt;/a&gt; is to force patent owners to implement within a reasonable time or yield their hold on an IP claim. Of course that has its drawbacks too; for instance, what if you're a great inventor but not a good implementor?  On the whole, though, it feels one step closer to a fix.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oshoma Momoh</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Apr 2006 12:45:34 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
