Yeah, you should never spend the time, effort, and money to develop something you aren't going to use right away! How dare any company think the millions they invest in coming up with a new technology should be protected if they don't decide to use it as soon as they come up with the technology!

such would be determined on a case by case basis. In this case the patent "envisioned an improved auto-dialer for use on touch-tone phones." Sorry. I don't think so...and apparently neither did the jury.

I agree, for the most part. But just saying that a patent isn't valid because it was immediately developed or released is a little over the top. There are patents for hundreds of things that aren't yet on the market. Heck, Dairy Queen held the trade mark Blizzard for something like 30 years before they ever made it- just normal business practice.

I am all for IP rights, but a lot of these claims are ridiculous.

On some of the email patents, the actual patent is nothing more than combining two things invented by other people, or using another invention as intended.

"We invented using email over a wireless data system! We didn't invent email, we didn't invent wireless data, and the whole purpose of the wireless data system invented by someone else was to use it like any other network, but we want a patent anyway!"

Could some one tell me what the hell an auto-dialer for touch-tone phones has to do with a wireless data card. 😕
