Patents are the single largest menace to the U.S tech sector.
All they did was take the word monopoly and add some positive connotations.

I don't know much of anything about patents, but I'd be really interested to hear you (or someone else) elaborate on this.
To expand on this, they should completely do away with software patents and business process patents.
The only exception, is cryptography. The patent on RSA is completely justified in my books.
All that
It looks like most of his targets are patent trolls themselves, Microsoft for example is making a ton off money off of android patent licenses:
HTC Pays Microsoft $5 Per Android Phone, Says Citi
+1 for #winning. Srsly.
Anyone got any information for looking into this? Whats a ballpark figure for buying a patent from a failing company? Is it just the American legal system which allows for such rapeage or can this be replicated in AUS/CAD/UK?
I know nothing of this, and will likely obviously never go into it but I'd love to know more about it.

Hate the game, not the player.
The only reason this shit works is that the patent institution was ruined for the very benefit of the people he is currently screwing. If this shit only gets reformed because people figure out what scumbags can do with it, then all the power (and money) to him.
