3D Designs & Patents?

The EFF is specifically trying to find prior art for 3D printing (described here) by partnering with Ask Patents. So if you see a company trying to take advantage of someone's prior art, this seems to be a useful way to provide evidence that the patent shouldn't be granted.

Great idea, and I'm glad something is being worked out. I'd hate to see 3D Printing get a bad name for itself because of people stealing other people's inventions. I have confidence that the US and international judicial systems will do what is right and fair.
