We need a more efficient way to eliminate bullshit patents or bullshit patent infringement claims than "violate them then spend millions on lawyers to fight them in court".
- brookst 6mo agoSure, and at the same time we need a more efficient way to ensure big companies can’t just take what they want and bury anyone who complains. It’s not an easy problem.
- voakbasda 6mo agoStop big companies from ever forming. They are not a natural force that cannot be reckoned with. We allow them to exist. Revoke the charters of any business over 500 employees.
- pmontra 6mo agoI can see a number of ways to work around that limitation, without even lobbying and bribing. And I'm not even a lawyer or an accountant. Eventually all the money and power will converge in a few sub 500, or sub 50, companies and nothing will change.
- extraduder_ire 6mo agoDoes that happen in places like Europe, where software patents aren't a thing?
- account42 6mo agoRight now we have neither so working on one can't make the other worse.
- WhyNotHugo 6mo agoEliminate software patents.
