Along the same lines, 5000 secret patents Sounds like time to shut down the Patent Office.
It's not that the system doesn't work; more like it works entirely wrong.
I'm paying to issue secret patents? F*ck that.

Since you can't do a patent search (I presume) on secret patents, how could they even enforce the stupid things? :-/
As Wolfgang Pauli used to say "this isn't right, it's not even wrong!"
When you attempt to register your own patent, the patent office does a search, and if your patent matches something secret, they tell you it already exists and you can't have it. Generally the government forcibly buys your patent from you.
