Those bullet points aren't all suits. There's one involving domain names which they won (clearly they were in the right there). There's the one this article talks about (which has been going on for a while and was ruled in their favor previously) and another which it doesn't show the result of but wasn't over patents.
I wouldn't say 1 patent suit makes them overly-litigous.
- falsestprophet 18y agoYou should read the patent. It is absurd. One lawsuit this silly makes them overly-litigious in my book. Seriously, I don't know how their attorneys keep a straight face.
- palish 18y agoThere is merit to what you both have said (Matt and Prophet) and I encourage you both to look at the situation from the other's point of view.
- mattmaroon 18y agoA lawsuit over an issued patent is never absurd. It's a necessary mechanism by which our society fosters innovation. You won't have nearly as much innovation without patents, and you won't have patents without enforcement. The patent itself may be silly, and the beautiful part of the system is that it can be overturned. That happens very frequently. This is just a case of eggs being broken to make an omelet.
