We are not crying wolf. It is really, factually, truthfully happening. On the face of it, this sounds like great news ;)]]> swpat patents alice uspto ip reform software https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:26c8302bdd3f/ 2013-01-27T21:47:08+00:00 http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/how-newegg-crushed-the-shopping-cart-patent-and-saved-online-retail/ jmPatent trolling is based upon deficiencies in a critical, but underdeveloped, area of the law. The faster we drive these cases to verdict, and through appeal, and also get legislative reform on track, the faster our economy will be competitive in this critical area. We're competing with other economies that are not burdened with this type of litigation. China doesn't have this, South Korea doesn't have this, Europe doesn't have this. [...] It's actually surprising how quickly people forget what Lemelson did. [referring to Jerome Lemelson, an infamous patent troll who used so-called "submarine patents" to make billions in licensing fees.] This activity is very similar. Trolls right now "submarine" as well. They use timing, like he used timing. Then they pop up and say "Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!" Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that. ]]> patent-trolls east-texas newegg shopping-cart swpat software-patents patents ecommerce soverain https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:383fac7a7c41/ 2012-03-13T21:11:57+00:00 http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2012/03/opinion-baio-yahoo-patent-lie/ jm patents swpat upcoming yahoo ip idiocy warchest https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:e138cc2b4e59/
