As Supreme Court Software Patent Ban Turns 40, It's Time To Stop Ignoring It
- edyang 14y agoConsidering I've been waiting over 2 years for my patent, it's clear the office and its procedures need a massive overhaul.
- arbuge 14y agoMost people don't realize how bad the patent troll situation is. You can be hit by patent trolls for operating a boring online store with nothing more sophisticated than a shopping cart. Happens all the time. Here's just one example: http://ia700401.us.archive.org/3/items/gov.uscourts.txed.119087/gov.uscourts.txed.119087.1.0.pdf http://ia700401.us.archive.org/3/items/gov.uscourts.txed.119... At least some of those defendants ended up settling and paying off that particular troll by the way. Petmeds is a public company and mentioned that in one of its 10K filings.
