Why do you keep bringing up whether or not they deserve it?  That isnt
the issue I was talking about.  I was only talking about jurisdictions
where patents like theirs may not be enforcable.  That still has nothing
to do with deserving it or not, and you wont be able to convince me that
laws of one nation have anything to do with deserving something.  They
are seperate issues.
