That is incredibly upsetting but was very fascinating to read about. The author handled the situation extremely well after seeing (what seems to be) a major part of their life be "intellectually" taken away from them. Even though they may own the patent, the patent troll will never take away the dedication, work and love poured into this passion project. It definitely should make anyone question the current patent process.
- ithinkinstereo 8y agoI suppose the silver lining is that this patent is essentially worthless for the intellectual thief Jill Mackay. Given all the prior art, I'm guessing it would be hard to enforce, but I can definitely see Jill pulling some patent troll moves in the future. The real stinker in this whole story is how Jill Mackay had the balls to try to sell the patent back to Jie for $5MM. Totally shameful and by a fellow "artist" no less.
