> Trespass is about land

Well, to borrow a phrase, it really isn't. Or more precisely, land is one subject area. Take a few moments to research if you're curious, but do go beyond a law dictionary.

> that I was defending patents. I am not.

It seems we agree... then?

> I'm objecting to your criticism

Ok, fair objection. I also noticed your objection was less than friendly, so perhaps your predisposition to the abuse of certain words is so strong, that you will recognize that indeed, using the word theft when one intends to convey the concept of infringement, is invalid.

This is precise legal language and meaning.

As to changes to the patent laws, I can only hope. I do also hope, that as you say, it is obvious. The more blindingly obvious this becomes to people, the better. So hopefully, we can close on the positive note of both hoping for the same thing?
