I still don't understand this patent lark. We have the best patent system,
as you can't patent stupid stuff like a sequence of DNA like you can in the
states, however, if I break a US patent, I get prosecuted, right? Well,
surely there is no point in this bill, as US patents apply in this
country... Does someone want to explain this to me please? I'm not very
law-savvy... Thx.
