> That's because there are over 700 of them: And... what's wrong with that specifically please? Tonnes of companies have hundreds and even thousands of patents. The original claim that innovation is being blocked needs a clear example to support it. > No volume price breaks, no prototype-quantity orders (at any price), no partnering with other manufacturers, no shared development projects None of this sounds like blocking innovation. Sounds more like a difference in perception about costs. It would be like me expecting to get preferential treatment from one of the LCD vendors to develop something. > but you're not supposed to be able to sit on a patent hoard this large while behaving this badly I see a lot of superlatives but googling doesn't give me any hint of what you're referring to as their bad behaviour.
