Description
"books like Patent Failure provide hundreds of pages of incontrovertible evidence that the patent system there actually costs more money – in terms of litigation – than it generates for patent holders, with the possible exception of the pharmaceutical industry" (http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/index.cfm?blogid=14&entryid=1632)
