Patent Holders Goes on Lawsuit Rampage: Film at 11!
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 04:00 PM
"Though it's not a usual part of the Thanksgiving tradition, this year you might pause to give deep and gracious thanks to lawyers. Particularly lawyers who, out of the goodness of their hearts, help downtrodden little inventors who get hoodwinked out of their patents by big, pitiless tech corporations. Who knew there were so many hoodwinkees? They've been coming out of the woodwork lately, aided by lawyers filing patent lawsuits against nearly every major tech company."
This is a must-read article: I knew there were some crazy patent suits out there, but to see so many collected in one place is nauseating. Something is so incredibly wrong with the world when people are issued vague patents and are able to threaten the very infrastructure that many of us rely on to earn a living. Where did they hire the people who approve these patents from?
