There's Virtually No More Journalism on the Subject of Software Patents (or Patents in General)

Summary: The video above shows the awful state of affairs when it comes to journalism on the subject of patents, and on software patents in particular (the same is true for "Linux", as we explained and showed last week)

The software patents conundrum is hardly new to me; I've written about it for nearly two decades and over the past 5-10 years anything resembling journalism on the subject of software patents diminished to zero; there's just about a sum total of zero articles on this subject, at least in English (law firms doing shameless self-promotion of software patents doesn't count as journalism).

The subject or this issue isn't particularly new; over the past half a decade we've repeatedly complained about how "the news" was basically dominated by those looking to profit from patent litigation. ⬆
