Finally this is (seeming) insanity is brought to the spotlight.
Here's to hoping that between invalidating trivial patents like these and initiatives like Twitters "Innovator’s Patent Agreement" (which requires all inventors to agree before a patent can be used offensively), the current situation will finally come to an end.
- monochromatic 14y agoWhy is this patent trivial?
- lukifer 14y agoThe problem with Twitter's patent agreement (and others like it) is that it is not legally binding. However good their intentions now (and I believe they are genuine), sooner or later the company will come under new management, or have their assets sold for scrap, at which point all those "defensive" patents get weaponized and used for extortion.
