So let’s see: people who use the power ot the state to unjustly acquire a monopoly that gives them the right to legally extort victims, are complaining about “frivolous patent challenges”. Wow, some chutzpah.

“The fear is that such service provides will offer to “creat[e] uncertainty about a problem patent by tying it up in a long reexamination process and effectively nullify the problem patent” to get lower rates during license negotiations “until the uncertainty ends.”"

So…. to avoid reducing the amount of money holders of “problem patents” can extort, we should just presume patents are valid–even if they might not be–and don’t allow any kind of challenge that could just “cause uncertainty.” Wow.

I don’t know. I prefer justice to certainty.

Dennis’s blog, http://www.patentlyo.com is far superior. Don’t bother reading the comment from the patent troll above…. and disregard the gibberish on this website….
