If I flush 50 million dollars down a toilet, can I too have the government enforce broad patents on software practices that are obvious and have existed for years?
- chaosprophet 17y agoI believe the patents Nokia speaks of were neither obvious, nor existed for years when Nokia originally patented them. Nokia's IP is present in every GSM phone.
- tspiteri 17y agoAre you comparing spending money in R&D to flushing money down a toilet? Not letting R&D money be flushed money would be a good reason to support patents.
