Re: [ga] GoDaddy gets patent on proxy Whois service

[sotiris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This is just one more example of what is wrong with the US system of
issuing patents and trademarks.

Domain registration by proxy has been going on since long before GoDaddy
even became a company!

I suppose the next thing the USPTO is foing to grant a patent for is the
frying pan wrist-flip for turning over frying eggs...

What a f##king joke.
