I don't know that I agree with all of this, but I certainly think that the 
patent office in the US is grossly incompetent.  They awarded a patent on 
an antenna that purports to transmit signals faster than light.. They also 
awarded a patent to a barcode company for essentially shining a laser 
through a hole, and another for using a trigger switch to control a 
laser... How much more stunningly obvious can you get?
