Line 16: − − == Negative Effects of Patents == − While patents are intended to promote creativity, granting frivolous patents (e.g. one-click downloading<ref>http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/10/17/us-patent-office-rejects-amazon-one-click-patent/</ref>) makes it costly and inconvenient to develop new products. For example, if Conservapedia is violating frivolous patents the administrators may not be aware of, it may in turn be vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits.
your edit seems more like a vague parody than a substantive edit, also, since your lone source was how a patent was rejected, you failed to prove negative effects
For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
