 2 types of patents at issue

The "Method" patents claims are BS. The fact that the patent bureau allows these types of patents is a travesty. Allowing someone to patent STEPS in a process could block all competition in any industry making anything.

The "Systems" patents could be legitimate. These types of patents actually relate to a real physical product.

Methods patents detail steps that are performed in completing VOIP calls.

It is the systems patents that cover an exact specific system

The whole patent system is a travesty. Its needs overhauled like whoah.

People will lose patents in the process of the overhaul, because BS patents will be void and lawsuits that went with them will be overturned is why it is a hard thing to just do.

Lots of competition in the US is not happening in the technology/medical sector because of bogus patent claims..having a patent on a drug or machine that can save millions but is confined to one person that sells said machine for millions each is not a good patent system.

Maybe I should patent the method of suing your competition when all else fails.

Verizon is making a big deal out of nothing. Shame on the part of Verizon for all the worthless troubles they have caused. Before you know it this who thing with Verizon and Charter will be over real quick and after that people will forget this whole stupid suit.

Oh no, another post that I totally 100% agree with.

I think this whole mess is also stifling innovation stateside in a sector that we need to grow, not shrink.
