On a related note, here is a very interesting article called "A case for patents"<http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com/2011/08/case-for-software-patents.html>where the author (who doesn't seem to be working for a NPE) says a lot of the same things I've been saying. He covers pretty much everything: what's right with patents, what's wrong with them (NPE's and patent warfare), some theorizing trying to imagine a world without patents and finally, interviewing one of the original inventors of software patents (the concept).
Select quote: "Without the patent, I think it could be open season on us the moment we announce our product.". Sounds familiar? Read until the end, very interesting. -- Cédric 2011/8/7 Cédric Beust ♔ <[email protected]> > On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 11:47 AM, Ricky Clarkson > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Only Cedric Beust that I know of. >> > > <nods> > > Amazing to see so many people wrong :-) > > -- > Cédric > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
