Journal 3: One-day Post

1. Patents are horrible in that they can stop someone from marketing their own creation if someone else made something similar enough, even if that was completely unknown.
2. Patents should expire sooner than they do, people can sit on ideas they own for far too long, and it can deprive people from enjoying their own versions.
3. Trade secrets seem like such an unsecured means of security. All it takes is one leak and your whole corner on the market can be destroyed.
4.  If Oracle really had an issue with people using their API, they should have spoken up sooner; there should be a window of time when these suits can be brought against companies. Some sort of "you snooze you lose" policy.
