I vaguely remember there being a post from someone who claimed that there are
competent CS-trained people working for the Patent Office.  Also (it may not
have been the same post) someone mentioned that you can challenge a patent
for free if the challenge is based on prior art.

Can somebody post pointers to good sources of information on the Patent
Office, the process, etc. ?  Are we entitled by the Freedom of Information
Act or some other similar legislation to know the qualifications of the 
patent examiners, etc.


If you send e-mail to mburke@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu, I will summarize and post
to the net.
