Doesn’t matter - he saw something anyone with EE101 should’ve spotted from the rewrite, stuck with his guns for no personal gain and won.
I would love to have that much attention to detail (or even in the interest in reading through the patent).
- writepub 8y agoIt matters. Of all possible patents to invalidate, why this one? Uber - one of the world's most valuable private companies, doesn't need help with patent law.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoPossible explanation: because this guy doesn't spend his day looking for patents to challenge; he read about that particular one on the news due to Waymo vs Uber case, and decided to take a look at it, only to notice it's bullshit. That's the official story, but it also sounds pretty plausible.
- drakenot 8y agoApparently they do considering they hadn’t submitted their own reexamination request of the patent in question that inevitably led to Waymo dropping the patent claim.
