- jmalicki 2mo agoI don't understand why from a legal perspective, but it seems like over the last decade or more the tech industry stopped caring about patents. Startups used to talk about their parents and large tech companies would encourage you to file. While people say software patents make no sense, when I've seen cases involving EE, ME, and software patents, the software patents are usually the most likely to hold up in court and get damages. Empirically noone seems to care anymore.
