But there are garbage patents.

  Sure. Maybe the one the original thread author is talking about is garbage, but I'm willing to be charitable and accept he probably isn't an idiot and has done a bit of due diligence to check. So, assuming the patent in question isn't garbage, what I said stands.

    That’s a pretty large assumption though. Most people including many, many, tech people I have met are, to use your word, idiots about patents, essentially suspending all disbelief as if it is some kind of powerful magical certificate that validates the idea. So what you said stands but only in a world I haven’t encountered, and I have a few patents and have been around the block on this one.
