Knowingly infringing a patent leads to treble damages.

This is a concern onsidering that I probably infringe at least
one invalid, vague and overly broad patent every working day.
And so does every other active programmer in the USA.

So I avoid reading patents, just as I would avoid reading the
source code for a proprietary program.

Dude, you are clearly new to patent law. Study
up a bit before you comment again. You comment
is too stupid for Groklaw.

Also, some of us here, like me for instance or
attorney Mark Webbink, the co-editors of
Groklaw, do read them.

As you see, I also read the comments when I have
the time, and if I see you are leaving another
comment like that bone-headed one, I'll block
you.

Yes. I mean it.
