H.R. 1249: Say Goodbye To Your Dreams

Nobody Knows—

That one of the most important rule of laws, is about to be destroyed: our United States Patent System. Congress will be voting soon on H.R. 1249. The powerful corporations like GE and Disney have been working for YEARS to get this done. Having gone through the patent process myself, I have seen the “not made here” draconian wall in every big company. But, there was still a small chance, although I’ve seen it grow slighter as the years have gone by, that a small inventor could have an honest chance of taking  a new idea, and actually go on to profit from that idea, and be protected from anyone stealing it, especially bigger companies.

The only place that we have seen this really happen is in the computer industry. And think about it: all those computer wiz boys came out of Harvard and Stanford, the very same place our politicians are hatched.

Still, we must not forget that some of our greatest inventions were from people who were just nobodies: The Wright Brothers, Tom Edison…Eli Whitney. It WAS the biggest part of the American dream.

Phyllis Schlafly has been sounding the alarm on this bill for weeks:

According to seven scholarly law review articles, this is flat-out unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution requires Congress to protect “inventors,” not someone handing a piece of paper to a government bureaucrat. The Founding Fathers understood the importance of protecting inventions, so they included protection for inventors in the Constitution even before rights to free speech and freedom of religion! This bill is not getting much attention, because certain Congressmen want to reward big corporate interests in their districts by slipping the bill through quickly before other Representatives and the American people have a chance to discover how bad it is. Just like ObamaCare was, this bill is being fast-tracked, pieced together through back room deals and compromises behind closed doors.

What H.R. 1249 does change, is the rules from “first to invent” to “first to file,” which means, you could have the idea, notebook it, invent it, witness it, and apply to the patent office. they would THEN post your “patent pending” invention ON the internet patent system, and any country in the world could take that idea and with much more money, and claim “first to file”  by rushing their lawyers to beat your  file by predating THEIR version, and the little inventor would have to go to court to protect his claim, and of course he cannot ever dream of winning against the big corporations, who can spend billions. The last thing they want to do is compete with some little guy, who with a few bucks, and the protection of the government, manages to come up with a better idea then the same people they are spending millions to create for them.

And that’s why we are becoming more fascistic every single day.

The corporations are buying off our polticians. The conservatives that take their bribes are called Rhinos. I suggest we call the liberals who whore for them…Dinos. And Obama is one of them.

And if you think GE getting Congress to outlaw your lightbulb (and making sure no one else can put them on the market) is just good old capitalism at it’s best, then I have to wonder where you put your teeth, because I bet you, you can’t find them, due to senility.

Waiting for your patent to be approved takes around three years, because there is a shortage of patent lawyers, and that’s because our Congress has been stealing the money away from the patent office and spreading it around to wherever and whomever they want.

They love to do that…you know— spread it around. (Go ahead, say it…Wiener!)

What many people don’t realize is that the big companies want, is all inventions to be owned by the few big multinational companies. If you have a great idea, and work for GE, it’s not you who owns and profits off that patent, its the company. The goal is to eliminate the little inventor that the big companies don’t control.

What this is really going to do is destroy the one best thing that made America great…our creativity. (And that includes our Constitution.)

Say…you invent the best new invention while working for GE, would YOU want them to profit off it?

Hell no! You would quit and do it yourself.  And under the old American patent system, you would be allowed to, and protected while doing it. HR 1249 will lead to a world were the freedom to invent will be controlled by our government/corporation complex. It will be up to them to control, what gets invented, and by whom.

I’m calling my Congressmen tomorrow….it might be too late, but I’m going to try.

Oh…just a little fun point to what I just wrote– I once got three patents on a product that I was trying to get on the market. Now, one of the patents was shaped like Mickey Mouse. I sent it to Wal-Mart to be evaluated and they sent me a letter back and flunked it.

You know why they flunked it? They said, and I quote: “We believe that Mickey Mouse will not sell.”

Right. Coming from a company who has had Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama on its board of directors, I can honestly tell you, I was not surprised. Uh….can someone tell me how “wrong” it is for govenment wives to be on corporate boards? Nobody?

So, if you have the time today, call you Congressmen and tell them to vote “no” on H.R. 1249…remember…when big companies control all inventions, you might be someday salivating about eating just one last T-Bone steak, but the only steak you will be able to buy will be “artificial” steak, sold by General Mills. Due to the order from the EPA to save the planet from cow farts, only Senators will be allowed real meat.

And when you bite into that lovely piece of meat spam, invented by order from some CEO at the company…you can say…Nobody warned you.
