I guess you haven't seen what the patent office has granted patents for lately. That old joke is no longer a joke.
Well, just as I don't judge people based on whether they have degrees or not, I don't judge people based on whether they have any patents or not.
As I've said to John numerous times in the past, a person's words don't stand or fall based on their "credentials" (or in this case patents) but on the veracity of the words themselves.

You bet. They even allowed this one last week.

When ideas aren't actually presented, but only assertions, wrapped in a claimed expertise, things like credentials or patents are all one has to go on.

Hehehe. Yes. I see why you're big on patents.

Damn. A Ph.D. and gobs of patents. You're John's kind o' guy.
All one has to go on with regard to what exactly?

But patents are issued to such people all the time. There have been recent patents issued for "over unity" devices. John Bedini was given a patent for spinning CDs in a magnetic field claiming (and even "proving" in his patent) that it not only caused the data on the CD to be compressed, but also rearranged the data on the CD. And so on. So I don't give whether or not someone has been granted any patents any inherent credence over those who haven't been granted any.
Well pin a rose on your nose.

It's my opinion that the patent office started going to hell when
they opened it up to hare-brained internet business models.
We no longer intend to apply for any patents - it took them
four years to even get round to looking at our last application
(and they were rude about it, too), and it is simply too expensive
anymore unless you really think the invention's that important.

That's unusual. My worst case was 4 years from date of application to issuance, and THAT was only because of a boneheaded examiner who got slapped down by the Appeals board. More typically, they've been running about 3 years from application to issue.
Expense is a different story, but I'm convinced that you can do the process without lawyers.
