Here is how wrong this article is: So...if you are a small inventor and want to license your patents to a large company you are forced to become ?a troll?. So if you approach them for a license, they have the right to sue you and attack your patents based on the recent changes to the law that congress pushed through thanks to IBM and Google. In fact, the better the patents are the more likely they will sue you for venue. Or, you have to sue them to get their attention or lose the value of your patents and venue?
So if you approach a big company after your spent years inventing and creating a valuable patent and spent about $40,000; the big company decides to sue you in Alaska. You now have to put up a defense in Alaska or lose your patents. They are ready to spend $3M. Where do you get $3M to fight back? So you have to quit the suit and license them for free. Patents are already becoming worthless to anyone but very large companies. We are destroying our small inventor and will never get him/her back.
The press only focuses on Trolls and all of you fall for their terrible job at presenting facts. Stop commenting on things you know nothing about. All you do is spread disinformation and make the net the worst invention ever created. Maybe we should all start reading newspapers again.
The author has zero knowledge of what he is writing about. The comments are even worse.
Why don?t we discuss exactly how many cases there are per year on software patents and why there has been a bump in patent cases for software? There are about 40 patent cases per year on software related patents out of the 35 million patents in the US. WHAT? ONLY 40 YOU SAY? YES. Then why are we writing about it? Because people fall for terrible articles like this and think there is a problem when there is nothing behind the curtain.
Not only that, but big companies have forced each case to be separate so a patent holder cannot sue multiple companies within a single suit. This has caused the total number of all suits in software to mushroom from 40 per year to 65 per year. What a joke. There is no problem here. Yet Techdirt and others continue to beat the drum. Go sit in your room and keep beating your drum and bring down what has made America great.
