Can is say one thing "patent reform" please.
This trend really bugs me all the big companies are spending billions of dollars on papers instead of putting it into Innovation / new products etc.
If this trend goes on and more patent trolls enter the field everyone of us needs to have a patent lawyer next to our desk. Lodsys allready proved its worth to go after the lowest hanging fruit.
I dont want to imagine what happens if one of the big tech companies turn evil.
- searine 15y agoExcept these patents (and the massive profits they generated for IBM via this sale) are the direct result of R&D. IBM would be crazy not to invest the profit back into R&D to develop another patent library...
- Hyena 15y agoNot really. Most are the direct result of IBM's system of internal rewards for patenting. This results in thousands of questionalble patents. Being that it is easier to get than eliminate a patent, IBM is a company deeply engaged in destroying the world.
- cdibona 15y agoPlease do say 'Patent reform' to your congressperson or senator. Thanks.
