&gt; It&#x27;s absurd to say that I am &quot;actively trying to do harm to innovation.&quot; I filed for patents on novel processes to protect myself. That&#x27;s inherently defensive, not offensive.<p>You sued Square, right? Square benefited in no way from your work or from your patent, but now you&#x27;re either expecting payment from them for no services rendered, or forcing them to waste their resources fighting your shakedown attempt. In what worldview is that not harming innovation?
