I'm not a lawyer, only someone who has a few utility patents. My opinion so far is that my patents are not particularly innovative, but I assume there's a numbers game to it for corp attorneys which encourages them to file these.

Hmm, I agree about the complaining publicly part. Doctors and layers who are partners in private clinics/firms tend to make even more (I've personally seen friends make $600k-$1MM+ a year cash), and the fact that we aren't ta
