Page "Software patent debate" Paragraph 33
from
Wikipedia
* Patent examiners rarely have a comprehensive knowledge of the specific technologies disclosed in the patent applications they examine.
This is in large part due to the enormous number of micro-niches in the software field and the relatively limited number of examiners.
So, patents are sometimes allowed on inventions that appear to be trivial extensions of existing technologies.
