Patent trolling
ain't going away until the government decides to actually make a move.
The suit names the following industry players: Symantec, Microsoft, AVG, CA, Check Point Software, Comodo, ESET, F-Secure, iolo technologies, Kaspersky Lab, McAfee, MicroWorld Technologies, NetVeda, Norman Data Defense Systems, Novell, PC Tools, PWI, Sophos, Sunbelt Software, Trend Micro, Velocity Micro, and Webroot Software.
The lack of change from the newly-elected government is already upsetting Richard Stallman, who last night pointed a finger at
this new article. This isn't the first example of an Obama appointment that puts pro-intellectual monopolies people in charge and there seem to be
legitimate reasons for concern.
