Worlds Inc (WDDD)

The point is the the tide is still against software patents

All that may be true, but the point is that almost no one seems to be able to get a patent case through to the end where they collect money on.

WDDD is now years behind schedule for even just having a trial.

VRNG lost its patent case, even though it had all kinds of experts available, and even former patent clerks working for them. A number of people closely studied that case, including me, and were all taken by surprise when they lost on appeal.

VHC also lost against Apple, after an initial win, later lost also. A number of people followed and studied those patents also and years later VHC has realized virtually nothing.

There are other smaller patent plays that are going nowhere and probably going to run out of money at some point; PRKR, MGT, BYCP.

The point is that no one has been able to collect on their patents in recent years.

I think that hoping that all of a sudden there is a change of rulings in the court districts will not work, or would take decades, and that legislation by Congress is needed before the tide turns in favor of software patents. In particular, it looks like Congress needs to pass new legislation defining what is and is not obviousness and allowed for software patents.

A few years ago, in 2014, it looked like congress was about to take up the issue, but then nothing happened. Until that happen, I think that software patents will get granted by the PTO, and pass the PTO review and rereview processes, but will go no where in the court systems.
