It's very complex, as you say. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2875288\" data-originallang=\"en\">My questions really have to deal with thinking of myself being in a position where I have an invention or an idea and I would like to get it protected, and I want your perspective on this. It seems that the system is such that it actually promotes litigation in some ways because of the complexities. Is that a fair comment? </p>",
