here is the best way to fix the patenting problem: the chinese govt., for example, should pass a law IN THEIR OWN LAND, that states that any use or adaptation of their inventions or technologies since the past 10,000 years, are automatically patented by them. they should then go and charge a patent fee and/or penalty from the civilised world using paper, or epaper, or whatever. and that is just one invention. they have several thousands. brazilian rainforest tribes must be granted similar rights to their medicines and medicinal plants. ditto for all other ancient and indigenous civilizations of the world. that'll fix the patenting problems we face today.
