I can't think of a finer example than the Google/Motorola deal to illustrate how software patents are harmful to innovation.
$12,500,000,000.00 spent to essentially purchase 24,500 patents instead of spending it on R & D. That comes to about $510,000 per patent. Wow. What could you create with 12.5 billion dollars?
