[ ... abstract elided ... ]
please do not post patent abstracts to this or any other mailing list.
US law poses no requirement on an "inventor" to perform a patent
search, and a provable lack of awareness of existing patents does have
a small but definite impact on the legal result of an infringement. by
posting to the mailing list, you make provable lack of awareness much
harder to prove. posting a link to the patent doesn't expose us to
this issue, and leaves individuals free to decide whether to follow
the link or not.
