Dear Supervising Officer:
As a member of a technology enthusiast group, I am deeply disturbed by the level of favor that is given by your office towards large and notoriously monopolistic corporations in the field of computing. Although it has been a growing problem, this trend is exemplified heavily in your recent approval of patent number US00D504889S.
This trend has been proven by experts in the fields of economics and technology to be systemically and endemically detrimental to the innovative progress which we, as members of a capitalist nation, are so desperately trying to make, in both terms of opportunity for small business, and for the preservation of the ideals of freedom and fair trade that we possess so deeply within the core of our patriotic beliefs.
It is clear that it has become necessary for a major reform of your policies, one that is much more focused on protecting the rights of the originators of an idea in order for them to prosper for the innovation which they bring to society and removes most if not all of the monopolistic bias that has become a burden to the national community, legal system and the development of future economic prosperity which we are all collectively in need of.
Approving such a broad patent like this brings into question the integrity of your establishment. There are many proven prior works that this particular patent obviously covers, the fact that you approved this patent is in of itself proof that your process is inherently flawed and needs review.
I appreciate your time.

And for the record: I don't hate Apple. But this patent is kinda broad and makes no sense really.
