Stupid Patent of the Month: Eclipse IP Casts A Shadow Over Innovation

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/04/stupid-patent-month-eclipse-ip-casts-shadow-over-innovation

     Patent applicants and their attorneys have an ethical obligation to
     disclose any information material to patentability. Despite this, from
     what we can tell from the Patent Office's public access system PAIR,
     Horstemeyer did not disclose Judge Wu's decision to the examiner
     during the prosecution of the '334 patent, even though the decision
     invalidated claims in the patent family. While Horstemeyer has not
     made any genuine contribution to notification "technology," he has
     shown advanced skill at gaming the patent system.

Let's all get together and help fund shackles and cells for these crooks.
