PG, you're absolutely right - IP is a real problem, that so far no one has decided, but I think Moon have also another one side - limits to 25 will run to huge number of small startups that can not be grow more then 25 peoples and this is can stops investment from venture capitalists. I think, we dont need draw a line between huge and small startups. We just need another patent system - transparent and work well as we need. At first, we need to know, was gived a patent on our inventions or not - by few clicks. At second - we need to know, what kind of invention and claims for it was pended but still have not sugessted. At third, we need to see all climes of concurents patents - because we are allways can invent another one claims, and build on them ower new products, that we can protect. I think we can solve this problem - as technicians, we are much easier to prepare a bill and after appeal to members of Congress or the legislature with a request to meet our demands.

We need to change the whole system. Obtaining a patent should be a simple thing as buying a domain name or product in the online store. Now, placing an order, we practically give it to the blind - we do not know if already issued a patent for the same invention or is it the same invention is filed by someone. We do not know this and therefore has a great chance that in six months we will letter of refusal and then we just lose time. This is I'm think about. And, IP and Patents is a strongly related to my startup, I'm will apply to YC W12.
