Yeah, this is just bad advice. I think for most indy developers patents aren't worth the trouble for defending your IP against other indys--which, in the context of the article is probably what he meant. But for defending yourself against major players? Absolutely. And if you want a major player to buy you (instead of buying one of your competitors) it'll be the key differentiator.

> But for defending yourself against major players? Absolutely The point is that you have no chance to defend yourself. Can an indy developer afford a legal defense of the scale required to "defeat" a major player? If they can will it even be worth their time and energy?
