Considering that it's a real patent, your criticism should probably be
directed to the PTO for allowing it. But the lawyers looking over the
appliations there -- judging from the words of a friend who was one
recently -- are badly overworked. The average time to get a patent
issued has been increasing to several years' delay, the PTO has trouble
attracting qualified personnel, and stupid stuff slips through.
