What would be an example of a Nortel patent that applies to Android? Just because they have 6000 patents doesn't mean they are useful? Anybody could get 6000 no

What would be an example of a Nortel patent that applies to Android? Just because they have 6000 patents doesn't mean they are useful? Anybody could get 6000 nonsense patents with enough money.
In fact I just wonder, has anybody ever tried to DoS the patent office? If one application costs 10000$, one billion dollars would buy you one million potential patents. Something like the "academic paper generator" could be used.
- cageface 15y agoThe problem is even if those patents aren't relevant, legally establishing that fact is expensive and risky. With MS already shaking down handset makers for royalties there are important, near-term consequences of that kind of uncertainty.
- lukesandberg 15y agoThe patent office is already essentially under a DoS. The patent backlog is between 3-5 years.
