I can agree with a lot of what this guy says, but note his bias: he is an attempted troll who lost and now has a serious case of sour grapes. Specifically, check the "Odom v. Microsoft" case he cites in this article - the author of this piece is Gary Odom. He attempted to enforce his crappy patent as an NPE against Microsoft for their "ribbon" UI. He tried to drive a very narrow distinction through the court and lost on KSR obviousness. I guarantee that if he had won, he would be singing a different tune - and acquiring more patents to enforce.
