Lots of companies have "valid patents" that are bullshit and not particularly innovative but they don't use them to attack other companies when they can't compete. See Google for example, they only use patents defensively.
- paulddraper 10y agoOh, maybe but I don't see what any of that has to do with the topic at hand. These patents aren't being used passively. They are being used for royalties. And Samsung wouldn't pay the royalty unless there was a strong legal case.
- hueving 10y agoExactly, they are being used offensively to rent seek. Not defensively (only used to sue companies that sue you).
