I think the current patent apocalypse (Android vs. iPhone,
Oracle vs. Google, trolls vs. world) are the impetus that
will actually lead to getting rid of software patents.
I think The Big Boys with Large Software Patent Portfolios
are finally realizing the system as currently defined is
much more likely to cost them money (products being
embargo'ed, huge legal fees to fight frivolous suits,
unreasonable license fee requests from non-practicing
entities) than make them money (selling or licensing their
own patents).
Patent portfolios are currently "mutually assured
destruction." Oh, you wanna claim I violate one of your
patents? I'm sure there's one of mine in here somewhere
that YOU violate. We're witnessing the breakdown of that
deterrence strategy. And I think companies are starting to
realize disarmament is an attractive alternative. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| They don't make a dime, they only transfer money out of the consumers pocket
into a lawyers pocket. Any true inventor rarely sees a dime of
it. ---
