PTOEx - If they won't fix theirs, why don't we build our own?



by Douglas Sorocco




An idea:

If FedEx can take on the federal government's role as the mail delivery specialist, why can't a private commercial enterprise take on the role of patent office?

I'll be blogging on this some more over the next couple of weeks - but my first question to y'all out there, why not?

If Congress can't improve the process/quality by allowing the PTO to keep the user fees and use it to improve quality and service, let's innovate around them.

So - how do we create PTOEx?
