Businessweek: “Former patent attorney Charles H. Cella is something
of a zealot. He believes the exponential growth in patent
filings is causing an overextended U.S. Patent &
Trademark Office (PTO) to grant an increasing number
of patents that are far too broad or fail to make
significant advances in technology. So he set out to find
a way to help overturn patents of the sort that he
believes should never have been issued.”
