You notice the enormous difference between the Patent Troll position on this
patent while trying to defent the patent versus while suing:
For infringing purposes, any software that runs on any general purpose computer,
even though it uses no floating point operations whatsoever, and even though the
hardware doesn't use the mathematical algorithm described in the patent,
infringes--otherwise, Linux could not possibly infringe.
But for calculating the harm to society, "anyone can avoid infringing by
merely not rounding operands".
I call "incendiary trousers"! The fact pattern indicates that the
patent has nothing to do with methods, or non-methods, or anything else but an
intentionally-impenetrable mass of useless and pointless verbiage providing the
patent troll an excuse to extort money from people who aren't, can't, and
wouldn't under any circumstances use the "method" claimed by the
extortionist.
