THE patent maze expands to more and more walks of life, even to the point where the money system is affected ("Battle plans: patents in the financial services industry").
...companies agreed to pay TiVo $500 million in May to settle the litigation.
"They are trying to impose their patent monopolies on poor people in order to crush them and utilise the law to justify it."Here is another example of patents on the money system. It is made possible by software patenting and to quote: "Company officials could not be reached to comment about the software initiative or to provide details about which mobile phones could accept the software after its patent approval."
Using a tilted panel, debates on issues like business increasingly make the above a norm. To quote: "Graeser Associates International, Inc. (GAI), an international intellectual property firm specializing in the preparation, filing and prosecution of medical device, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, bioinformatics and medical software patents, is leading a series of free panel discussions on international business in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries."
They are trying to impose their patent monopolies on poor people in order to crush them and utilise the law to justify it. They also harm real professionals, not paper-pushers who steal their jobs. ⬆
"Intellectual property is the next software."

It is not as if the patented technology prevents you from doing so...

It's not a one off thing, patent trolls use all kinds of low quality patents like this to extort companies that make products instead of lawsuits.
