An excellent strategy for dealing with Apple's phony patents

Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, September 02 2012 @ 09:35 PM EDT

Well, with the current patent law, it's not so much of first to invent but more
of first to file and get a patent. Regardless of whether the patent eventually
gets validated or not, regardless of whether the patent is absurd or reasonable,
companies like Apple will use them against who they see as their
"enemy". The way things are right now, inventors still don't get the
credit for their inventions, while companies fight over dubious patent
violations. As long as companies have resources and are willing to fight it out,
it won't turn into the worst case scenario I guess. However, the frivolous
lawsuits that keeps going at this rate will cost all of us a lot more than just
better technology.
