minus-squareaeronmelon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up72·3 months agoIt should be illegal to apply for patents with the express purpose of suing someone else over what is now prior art.
minus-squareZorque@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·3 months agoYes, but how does that make rich people more money?
minus-squareshani66@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 months agoPretty sure it is. The patent office will generally give you anything you want tho and let the expensive courts settle the fallout. Kinda wild that they still rejected almost all of the patents tho, like holy shit that’s impressively incompetent on Nintendo’s part.
minus-squarebob_lemon@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 months agoNah, let them file all they want, so long as they pay for them. If they’re bogus patents, they’re rejected and it’s basically just a money transfer to the patent office employees.
minus-squareNutWrench@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoThis. You don’t “negotiate” with the Patent Office. The courts decide whether patent infringement has occurred. You “negotiate” with THEM.
