When you need this I think we can safely say the patent system is broken beyond repair. This is basically extortion (note that I'm not blaming Google!).

- ocdtrekkie 10y agoWhy are you not blaming Google? If Google was not trying to extort patents for profit, they could permit everyone free access to their patents. They have chosen not to do so. (Their patent pledge includes a tiny portion of their patents which are not substantial in any common patent litigation. Now we know why.) Google has purchased an incredible number of patents, and is now leveraging them for profit. They are not in a morally higher ground than Intellectual Ventures if they continue with this service.
