What Does Not Kill a Patent Makes it Stronger

,----[ Quote ]
| There is scrutiny of patent claims, comparison of those claims to 
| existing knowledge and prior art, and a purported desire to improve 
| the quality of technological patents. However, if the FOSS movement 
| does not like the Peer-to-Patent Project, but supports the patent 
| busting efforts of relatively anti-patent FOSS affiliated parties, 
| one must question whether those parties really want to improve the 
| patent system or simply take it apart.
