One more reason patents feel like a waste of everyones time. Limiting consumer choice by claiming ownership to payment methods is only going to slow down progress. I wish they would compete on actual experience and features rather than rights to the market.
- gukov 11y agoPatents maybe made sense a century ago with much fewer people and companies on the planet. Oh, and no internet. Today it's just a detriment to human progress.
- o_nate 11y agoI agree. Every article like this just makes me hate the current patent system more. What a waste of human resources to document every little business process and generate tons of paperwork just to build up a portfolio to fight off patent trolls. I don't know if a moratorium on new patents is what we need, but something needs to change.
