I’ve complained about this before: http://www.rethinkip.com/archives/the_picture_says_it_all.html
A reader at that time commented "The problem is that the USPTO has a SQL engine that is too small."
The USPTO seems to have money to fly all over the country (Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Austin, and Miami) talking to children about the evils of piracy and counterfeiting. Perhaps they can also invest in a bigger SQL engine sometime this year too...
Don’t make me start a PayPal tip jar.
