These kind of overly broad patents which should have never been granted in the first place are really thing biggest thing killing innovation in the USA.
Nothing like giving a few years of your life to a project and having it shut down over a bad patent.
On the other hand it was nice to see them using a number of innovations I created in 2005 but didn't patent.
- gfodor 9y ago(Cofounder here) Note that we didn't file any patents, this was no accident.
