Supreme Court Should Say No to Patents That Take Old Ideas Away from the Public
I recently watched the documentary The Patent Scam with the XPlane guy... it was disturbing to say the least. My question is this... With "method" patents being an absolute joke, what would stop me from patenting, "A method of acquiring patents for the sole purpose of litigating infringement without actually creating a licensable alternative"? I'm serious, these patents seems so stupid, I don't see why you couldn't just get that patent and sue all of these people?<p>Then again, if it is patentable, I'm sure some troll owns that one too.<p>Good documentary, though. It's currently on Hulu.
