Well in that case surely someone would have challenged the patent and got it invalidated.

- lambdasquirrel 5y agoI don't see how this works out economically. Having the patent invalidated is a public good. Fighting a patent in court is expensive and risky. Why should any particular company fight a patent for the benefit of its competitors, and against some decently-well-funded conglomerate, when it's already trying to make it in a competitive field?
