On the other hand I always find it funny that patent holders always find out about "their" patents being used years later after ti's become mainstream. -- My Blog: »abanzai.animeblogger.net/ |

 | That only applies to a trademark. Not to copyright or patent issues.
I do think, however, that there should be a law that if you sit on your patent without either enforcing it or developing a product based on it for too long, you should lose the right to sue over someone else's use of it. |

Very true. We need anti-patent troll laws to prevent this. Use it or lose it. |
