How do you avoid the chilling effects of patents existing then without getting into patent pools or cross-licensing arrangements? People will be hesitant to put any time into R&D if they don't have assurances their work won't be quashed by lawyers.

This has nothing to do with OCR. It's an issue with the JBIG2 compression re-using similar patches as substitutes for certain areas of the images if they're "close enough". This issue is exacerbated at lower resolutions.

Did you not have a lawyer to represent you?

The end of the report says something along the lines that Facebook can expect to win an opposition if the Face* thing can be argued to be related to something Facebook actually does and if there's a significant portion of a survey that associates it with Facebook (30% is not low). So Faceplanting is fine, but Facetalk, Facemail, Facefriends, Facephotos are probably things Facebook can oppose and win if they haven't been trademarked yet.

"Facebook wins right to police “face-” trademark prefix" is a misleading headline.

From my relative who was a Boat & Water Safety person in Minnesota regarding this article:

This is a song I have been singing for years. Drowning is silent, fast, and deadly. One of the best videos I have seen on this subject is "The Reasons People Drown", produced by Dr. Pia. It is excellent, chilling, and should be watched by everyone who is responsible for or who cares about small children and non-swimmers who venture near the water.

Drowning victims are helpless, and without intervention, will be dead in one minute or less. Most drowning victims perish within 6 feet of safety, and that safety often is a person who could have rescued them if they had known what was happening within arms reach.

Re-read the description of a drowning victim and then compare it to the sight of a child at play. There are many similarities and if you are not vigilant you will never notice the differences.

If your child is near the water, you need to be near your child. And, it is not possible to adequately monitor a child in the water and read a book at the same time. Pay attention to the child only, and don't try to keep an eye on more than two at one time!
