[LINK] Tridge fears FTA patent war

[rchirgwin at ozemail.com.au]

The best thing about Dr AT's involvement is "profile" - mostly patents 
are in the media's too-hard basket. That's understandable, because the 
research involved is very intense, and the outcome pretty thin (in terms 
of how much story you get, and how much reader interest comes at the end 
of it)...
