Google: Time to ditch our current software patent system?
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, August 21 2012 @ 08:15 PM EDT
Any attempt to make radical changes to the patent system in the US is doomed to
failure so long as change must be mediated via a government system that is
itself corrupt. Before PJ slaps me down here let me clarify that I don't mean
corrupt in the sense of individuals being dishonest, accepting bribes and so on.
I mean that the system is corrupt. It is dysfunctional, unduly influenced by
money, and unable to act in the best interests of the nation. Unless this is
corrected any reform efforts that come through that system are likely to become
corrupted to serve only the interests of large corporate political donors.

Samsung to invest $4 billion in Austin plant to ramp up production of mobile chips
Authored by: N_au on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 02:02 AM EDT
If I was Samsung and I lost this case I would dump this investment. I wouldn't
stay in a country that penalises me for competing with a company that originated
in that country but now makes nothing there but imports it all. Also the
"IP" it is suing over is so flimsy.

Patent Pounding
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 07:01 AM EDT
Patent Pounding

No Apple did not really invent tablets. It was not even the first in a new trend of portable computing. Changing the search for heavier desk and laptops with more and more power in the desire to have something you could carry with just enough functionality. For me that was the one-laptop-per-child project that introduced low-priced gear that could be used on many places. And the trend that followed changed the market. Apple didn't copy the low priced part.

It did not change the portable telephone either. That was RIM with the Blackberry for me. The Canadian company very early slammed with a patent lawsuit for US courts form a troll. And forced to settle or risking that the network would be taken down.

But Apple made nice global concepts, mostly commercial concepts, of all those ideas and pushed them very consequently trough. And could provide good user support thanks to its one-supplier environment.

Heinz Sued Over 'Dip & Squeeze'
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 02:46 PM EDT
Apparently the CondiCup was applied for in 2005, whereas the Heinz patent was
applied for on 8th of January 2004.
The person most likely to be the first to invent, based on this information, is
Alexander van Puijenbroek, not Mr. White.
By the time he contacted Heinz, they already had applied for a patent.
How come the USPTO approved both?
