Re: Maybe said by aaronwt:The courts obviously don't agree with your assessment. The patent court cases rule based on the patents... and therein lies the rub. The problem usually is the patent granted by the patent office. IE a super broad patent often covering obvious technology is granted, and then used by a company to beat others over the head for money.
Happens all the time.

1 edit | Absolutely there's something wrong with it. It's in violation of the whole idea of patents.
