by karlcow
With a 4,000-strong research team, Philips today owns 75,000 patents, 22,000 trademarks and 6,000 designs; its logo alone is valued at $5 billion. Each year, it files some 3,500 patents in the US and European patent offices. The revenue from licensing its technologies is also big.

Internet Software Patents
by karlcow
I was asked "Why didn't you patent this yourself, if you developed it first?" My reply was "It only took me an hour to build; if I went down to the patent office after every hour of programming, I wouldn't get very much done."

Techdirt: Smartphones Patented... Just About Everyone Sued 1 Minute After Patent Issued
by karlcow
Et après les gens du monde libre se demandent pourquoi les compagnies sont frileuses d'implémenter Ogg Theora. Tant qu'une technologie n'est pas implémentée par une société commerciale à larges revenus, il n'y a aucun moyen de savoir s'il existe un brevet même avec toutes les précautions possibles.Reading the patent, you realize it describes the quite common smartphone. It's a patent for a mobile phone with removable storage, an internet connection, a camera and the ability to download audio or video files. The patent holding firm who has the rights to this patent wasted no time at all. At 12:01am Tuesday morning, it filed three separate lawsuits against just about everyone you can think of, including Apple, Nokia, RIM, Sprint, AT&T, HP, Motorola, Helio, HTC, Sony Ericsson, UTStarcomm, Samsung and a bunch of others.

patent shames
by karlcow
Le système, l'individu et ses (non) choixI couldn't agree more. In my 8 years in IBM Research, I first filed a patent an year or so after I joined I think. They have a whole system in place to reward you with cash and plaques on the wall based on how many patents you file and how many get issued. And the system makes it easy to do it- hired lawyers do most of the work and all the inventor does is fill a form and then edit the draft application done by the lawyers.
