Hi NG

hier kommt wieder mal was 'schönes':

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-u-s-government-has-a-secret-system-for-104249688314.html

"Newly released documents reveal that the office, tasked with evaluating 
and protecting the rights to intellectual property, has a covert system 
for delaying controversial or inconvenient patents. It’s a system that 
attorneys say, if abused, could function as a way to limit or stomp out 
emerging companies."

"Any application that is categorized in SAWS, however, is placed in a 
special type of patent purgatory. SAWS-marked patents must be approved 
by anywhere from three to nine people and can be delayed for years. 
There is no official channel to notify an applicant once her patent is 
placed in the system, and the Patent Office has denied requests to 
divulge what applications are on the SAWS list."
