[0]theodp writes "Bill Gates said Thursday that Microsoft [1]expects to
file 3,000 patent applications this year, up from a little over 2,000
last year and 1,000 just a few years ago. 'We think--patent for
patent--what we are doing is, if anything, more important than what
others are doing,' said Gates, perhaps referring to '[2]Organizing and
displaying photographs based on time,' which the USPTO published just
hours before Gates spoke."
