Actually, not true
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, May 05 2013 @ 05:10 PM EDT
>When you buy something do you get a list of all the patents that your
shiny new widget are properly licensed for? No you don't so how can

For physical products, omitting a list of patents that an item uses, is
begging to be sued for failure to disclose something or other, by both
users, and patent-owners. I'm sorry, I've forgotten what that something
is. (It came up in one of the patent related cases that Groklaw covered.)

For manufacturers, things have gotten so bad, that some are starting to
list all patents related to their products, including both the date that the
patent was granted, and the date that the patent expires, or expired,
simply to avoid lawsuits related to their failure to accurately list the
appropriate patents.


Software usually fails to include that list of patents, because the only
way to know if a patent is infringed or not, is for the shyster to file a
lawsuit, based on a non-invention being granted a non-patent in
violation of US Constitutional Law, US Statute Law, US Case Law, and
USPTO Rules and Regulations, and a judge that obviously failed
remedial math 099, and never attempted to take, much less pass math
100, or math 101, declares something is demonstrably false, to be true,
and equally obviously, also failed remedial logic 099, much less
attempted, logic 100, because they knew they would also fail that
course.
