And that a patent resulting from this would allow them to sue chip shop owners for royalties?<br /><br />Except that they didn't actually file an application for salting chips, but for a somewhat different salt/chip combination that would not have been infringed by chip shops. And that their application was promptly rejected by the Patent Office.<br /><br />But of course they admitted to all of this...? Errr, no, they only updated their website to acknowledge half of this, and then only after I had pointed out that their page was misleading and that requesting royalties under their invalid application would have exposed them to claims under section 70 of the Patents Act. <br /><br />Ah, yes, the same ActionAid.

What we do is try to make things look fool-proof whilst building in loop-holes for lawyers and jobsworths to exploit so nothing gets done except what no one wants.<br />Sky News has a story running today about an engine replacement garage that clearly should be surrounded by cops, with the owners strung up and any liquidation money given to victims. We have lost proper attitudes towards justice and caught ourselves up in ideas that ... ad nauseum. <br />We need a new politics and new justice system stripped of tons of the foul crap of lordly privilege and open to public scrutiny.
