[i]So, you write a book telling people how to design better user interfaces, build the interface, and then patent it so that no one can use the ideas in the book they bought that is supposed to help them. Hope it doesn't work this way.[i]
Sad for two reasons. First because an idea that encumbered is doomed to fail in today's world, and second because the idle, unused, patents will prevent anyone from trying similar ideas.
Rather than get these ideas out in the world,they might be making sure no one ever uses them.
