Comments on: University fires back at Microsoft in browser battle

Software giant's appeal is meritless, says University of California, as the sides squabble over plug-in patents.

What do you expect????

Micro$oft has yet to make a mistake. So obviously the courts are
wrong, if not incompetent. And the University of California is
equally wrong and incompetent.

Funny how that's the universal problem Micro$oft keeps
encountering.....

Why do we need a patent agency?

Couldn't we just all vote on how inconvenient a particular patent would be to decide whether it should be granted or not?

That's what seems to determine which side is "in the right" in many people's minds in this case.

We don't need patent law.

get rid of old law and ..

Not get rid of all patent law, just get rid of laws that are so constructed as to be unworkable. If current patent law causes massive inconvenience on a regular basis then the current law needs changing.

If it was working properly there wouldn't _be_ regular massive difficulty.
