The Sorry State of US Patent Laws

If there ever was a case that point out how US Patent laws and US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is so broken, this is it. After 4 years of this, USPTO goes "Oops, you know, the patent probably shouldn't be issued in the first place"?! I mean, this has gotten so bad that India is creating a Traditional Knowledge Digital Library which compiles the country's traditional medicine in an effort to stop people from claiming them as their own and patenting them.
