So basically if tomorrow I create a USB-D spec, this law will prevent adoption? What a stupid law! Why did not they instead create a law that prohibits non-standard connectors license-only connectors? That also creates roadblocks to innovation (of proprietary stuff), sure! But it does not kill innovation outright.

Car makers asked the courts to limit the law "in case no one wanted them." Then car makers tried to prove no one wanted EVs and then tried to convince everyone against buying the very EV they were making!
