persona?
this is out of line again from nintendo. why does no one push back?
Because there basically is no democratic method to influence what the Patent Office does.
Patent Office -> Department of Commerce -> President
Even without the current fascist in charge of the Executive branch... basically, the President would have to direct the Patent Office specifically, via Executive Order, or by firing it's head or other staff, or writing some kind of memorandum to give it some new kind of guidelines or specifically reject or approve a particular patent.
Barring that... someone or some entity has to either sue the Patent Office... or just sue over the patent infringement itself and try to argue up to a Circuit Court or the Supreme Court that the patent itself is ... dubious, in some kind of specific legal way that I do not know the word for.
