Rahan,
I know many academics are not known for deep thinking, but has it
occurred to you of the illogic of asking a group of people - who are paid
to do patent searching - to volunteer to do patent searching that mostly
benefits their companies' competitors?
And has it occurred to you that the logistics of large-scale patent
searching is one reason companies employ searchers and give them, in some
cases [but not enough], substantial budgets to handle the complex informatiion
flows?
But I apologize. I forgot that the NYU Law School, where this prior art
scam is being sponsored, does not charge law students any tuition fees
because all of the NYU Law School professors are volunteering their time to
teach.
