Very disheartening.

What can be done on individual level, at the engineering level, as well as voters in US or European Union, to make sure that the economic theft of this type does not thrive ?
(and I am sure there are many 'Jill MacKay' characters in other countries, not just US)
The current patent system in US at least -- had been converted into a form of legalized racketeering.
With its own ecosystem of 'enforcers', 'masterminds', 'spies on the ground', etc.
Also just as in protection from racketeers it pays to have 'wealthy' and 'powerful' backers for your business (with whom you must share a portion of your equity... ).
- patentatt 8y agoI think legalized racketeering is a hard case to make out from this set of facts. The patent owner here has not received a dime, from what we know from this blog post, for this patent. It may be frustrating to see, but so far seems that the 'system' has not allowed any profiteering here.
