I had what I thought was a great idea for a story, but I did some quick research on line, and it turned out that the real world didn't function the way I thought it could. Anyone with any knowledge of the field could have shot all kinds of holes in the story. As a result, there was no there there. <br /><br />This is why I can't read most romances, by the way. When the heroine does something that a quick call to any lawyers' hotline could have fixed, but it is the basis for her whole bad-situation-turns-to-hot-romance-with-Mr. Hunk, I throw the book across the room. It's hard to root for a stupid heroine or imagine yourself in her place.

Not very interesting.<br />How do patents work? Less so. Lots of money paid to lawyers who are also engineers. <br />Unlikely that anyone would be killed over a patent. BY one (applied to medicine to keep it from going generic) maybe. But the legal side of it is so detailed that you'd be found out virtually instantly. <br />Theft of an idea-- that's not in the patent realm, because patents are public record and you can't steal them, only infringe them. When they're still in the idea stage (pre-patent), then yes, but that's an industrial espionage thriller, different from patent. <br />You couldn't find anything by breaking into a patent computer, and everything in the patent office is online (and backed up and dated and usually printed out). <br />And no, you can't bribe someone into granting a patent (see everything is on line, above, and everything is subject to court review with public record). Ditto denying one. <br />There is nothing quite so dull as patent law, although the ideas protected (for a relatively short time) by patents are fascinating. <br />See, one can be a lawyer for too long! <br />Ellen Kozaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66008510782374313162014-09-16T14:08:16.642-04:002014-09-16T14:08:16.642-04:00I loved tests almost as much as writing, and I app...I loved tests almost as much as writing, and I appreciate that they helped me get a National Merit Scholarship, without which college would have been very difficult. I did have to remind myself to give the expected answer because I could have made a case for most of the options. Disappointed to find that life is much harder and less predictable than tests . . <br />As a teacher, I saw how difficult it was for students to cope with the anxiety and really dislike the increase in testing, stressing students and using up time for learning.
