Ralph Nader, Patent Buster
America's consumer watchdog has a bone to pick with the US Trade Representative. The USTR is lobbying foreign countries to adopt America's liberal approach to issuing patents and to honor US patents granted for business methods, such as Amazon's 1-Click ordering. Backed by his advocacy group, the Consumer Project on Technology (www.cptech.org), Nader argues that exporting a flawed policy is a mistake. We caught up with him in Washington to find out why he believes US patent evangelism is a problem.
I don't always agree with Ralph Nader, but I'm really grateful for much of the consumer advocate work he's done throughout the years.
