As part of its “Patent Busting Project,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) yesterday released its “Ten Most Wanted” patents — patents it claims pose the greatest threat to the public domain. At its web site, the EFF has posted a “wanted poster” that mimics those found on post office walls. “Wanted,” the poster declares, “by EFF Marshals” for “crimes against the public domain; willful ignorance of prior art; and egregious display of obviousness.”
