Apple Found Guilty of Infringing U. of Wisconsin Patent
Hmm, Im torn about this one...
Apple is the king of the patent trolls, so it Is kind of karmic.
Then again, WARF is kind of a patent troll organization themselves, I mean how many colleges sue for patent infringement? When you read some of the other suits they have filed for their "patents", Id say some of them definitely Are bogus, patent troll type.
And if you read the long boring contested patent where they try to dazzle with 50 pages of deep technobabble, its not exactly breaking new ground, its when a CPU makes a wrong prediction, it makes a table of those mistakes to help it predict more accurately next time.
That's a basic feature of most CPU's for years, some even before their patent, and just because everyone else (like Intel) just rolled over and pa...

The patent system is very much flawed. I dare say I could patent and own you if I submit my application.

First off, no you cannot own a person by submitting a patent for them. You shouldn't accuse others of straw-man arguments when you use them yourself.
Where would you stand on patent law if someone created something in their basement, took the idea/concept/product to a corporation for help with building it out, and the corporation just steals the idea, builds it themselves, and gives no credit/compensation to the inventor? I bet you would be arguing that there should be laws that stop big bad evil corporations from profiting off the hard work of lone inventors.
Also, you need to think about how many things we would not have without the ability to profit off your own creations. I believe technological advancement would be slowed down ...

It's funny. But after a lot of thought I have come to the conclusion that the patent system does more bad than good. The same 'lone inventor' you were just referencing is harmed more times than not by patents, because as soon as he invents something and starts trying to sell it some large corporation will inevitably claim his invention violates a patent they already filed. Large corporations have the resources to dedicate someone to patent everything imaginable, and the resources to fight out a patent dispute in court. The lone inventor doesn't.
I find it ironic because you were on here so vehemently opposed to government intervention in the case of net neutrality. But somehow in the case of patents you're all for it, even though the pate...
