USPTO Advisory Board

MisterBad writes: "Once again the USPTO is taking open submissions for its advisory board. This group helps to set patent and trademark policy for the future. Having a friend of software freedom on this board is just too important to ignore. Don Marti of Linux Journal has the details on how to submit a name for consideration. Don't YOU want Lawrence Lessig or RMS helping to make patent policy?"

ummmm.....

If this is so important why is it not on the main page?

My sentiments exactly. We finally have a way to change policy, but it gets hidden in a place no one will read.

I guess if we actually reformed patent and trademark, slashdot editors wouldn't have anything to scare people with.
