Intellectual Ventures Hits AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile with Suits
The Patent Mafia
I highly recommend people listen to the "American Life" expose on this slimebag company. Regardless of how you feel about the messed up state of software patents, these guys are straight up scum.

Seems like so many companies simply are simply think tanks that file hundreds of thousands of patents, then do nothing with them except wait for someone to 'infringe' upon them so they can sue.

They dont even do that much work. They buy the patents from people who could never make a working product. Then they do nothing with it until they can troll companies that are actually trying to push inovation forward. They are the epitome of whats wrong with this country today, tryin to find the easiest way to scam a buck instead of working for it.
