I am a patent paralegal - I just processed our first patent over 10,000,000. Wonder who got the big number? I love the new design, gorgeous!

So sad that patents are no longer "property rights" and even sadder that because of it our country is now 12th place in strong innovation country's when just a few years ago we we're and always was freaking #1.

Do you have any links to support that contention? I'm sure we are #1 still, but maybe not per capita (by population). Just our University System and Corporate System alone would ensure it. The only country even close would be Japan, with Germany and Korea, 3rd and 4th.
