This is exacerbated by the behavior of patent offices, particularly
the USPTO, which rather than acting in the public interest, acts in
the interests of patent writers, and measures itself by the quantity,
rather than the quality, of the patents it issues.

[P]olice in many lands are now complaining that local arrestees are insisting
on having their Miranda rights read to them, just like perps in American TV
cop shows.  When it's explained to them that they are in a different country,
where those rights do not exist, they become outraged.  --Neal Stephenson
