The SkunK has searched for recent information on patents with NO joy. Thanks to a reader for finding this March 2010 scholarly work on patents. This is a 23 page PDF so I have only a small excerpt - and the SkunK is still working his way through it. . .

Investigating Patent Law’s Presumption of Validity—An Empirical Analysis
Patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) are presumed valid. The Patent Act places the burden of rebutting the presumption on the challenging party, but it does not set forth the evidentiary standard for rebutting it. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) requires clear and convincing evidence of the factual predicates of invalidity.

I am the SkunKhunter. I hunt down SkunK stocks. Those are stocks that have been beat down past any reasonable justification. I try to ride the stock up as market forces eventually right the ship of PPS. A SkunK is not a herd animal. He is a scavenger who knows that arriving before the herd means big profits and clean shoes. This is the journey of the GreenShift Corporation. Updated weekly between COB Friday and Sunday evening.

The SkunK on the Big Picture Stuff
Capitalism
"This system is not bad, it is just how things have worked in every functional society since time began. Someone provides a good or service in exchange for receiving a good or service. Money just facilitates making change and keeping score."
Socialism
"A system where more goods and services are provided to those who provide less goods and services." Leads to less goods and services.
Communism
"Where the link to producing goods and services and receiving goods and services is severed. Outdated, shabby or no production follows. Leads in time to a robust Free Enterprise system - starting with a black market."
