 		 #173779 - patents are a complete quagmire to suck in the unwary

Quite frankly, patents are a complete quagmire to suck in the unwary.

Which is why it's generally a good idea to seek professional advice - ie, engage a Patent Agent - if you're considering a Patent application...

Big corporations have the resources to patent everything

Not only to patent - but also to enforce their patents.

Enforcement is another quagmire...
