Don't waste your time. This is a pretty crappy article. It will be old hat for you if you've been following this area in any depth. Misleading discussions: the proportion of patents that are overturned compared to the number that aren't, what makes a bad patent bad, who files for patents, what is a patent troll, who are the patent trolls. Missing discussions: the distinction between software patents and non-software patents, the consequences of in re Bilski, the proportion of software patents vs non-software patents, the current misguided "reform" efforts in Congress, the nuclear war in the mobile industry, Google vs. Oracle.
