Thank you for all your links ( which I deleted). These are terrific.

I want to add that in the Japanese system , there is forced cross
licencing. Therefore, nusciance patents are less of a nusciance
in Japan.

I hope we do not come to that, however. Abuse of the patent system
by MIT's fraud and patent nusciance Lemmel has already forced changes in
patent law that hurt entrepreneurs. CIP's can no longer be strung
indefinitely. This was abused by Lemmel's submarine patent strategy,
so the law was changed. The new law hurt real entrepreneurs.
