I agree. After all, the patent laws were initiated back when technology took 20 years to advance. Now we see that technology outdates itself in 6 months. This being the case, it stands to reason, that technology patents should only hold for 6 months. Besides, if a company hasn't gotten far enough ahead of the 'pack' by then, they shouldn't be on the forefront of technology.
