This seems a bit of a broad swath for my taste, as Yahoo is a big place, but when screening resumes, someone listing their software patents is an automatic strike 1 and 2 in my book.
- robryan 15y agoI think it is a bit unfair as a policy, unless then used those patents themselves. While not ideal, right now it would be silly not to attempt to register defensive patents given the resources to do so.
- jongraehl 15y agoIt's okay - they still have one strike left :) I list a patent on my CV.
- efsavage 15y agoI don't search to see if you've ever filed for one, but putting it on your resume to me says that you want to work for a company that promotes them. The day may come when I have to file defensive patents of my own, but I'll never brag about it. And as jongraehl said, there's still one strike left :)
