It would allow anyone to patent spam though, that could be a good thing.
- brookst 1y agoHow? Compare to email spam where the cost is zero. Is that in any way better than a world where it takes substantial capital to send email spam? Lower cost = more patents = more patent trolls = less innovation.
- frantathefranta 1y agoMaybe they think it'd be a good thing because it would eventually phase out patents?
- john01dav 1y agoThat would lead to even more centralization of email than we already have, and that's a bad thing.
- RobotToaster 1y agoAny company that tried to bring a lawsuit for patent infringement would potentially face dozens of suits for their own infringement, a kind of legal mutually assured destruction.
