This is not some random patent troll type issue. We have 3 inventors who were obviously very much a part of the process...They tried to sell their tech and it was stolen.
You can say patent troll all you want, but that's just an unofficial term. You know what is official, though? Laws. WHen someone invents something in this country and then patents it... You can't just steal it and justify it by calling them a 'troll'.
THis isn't some obscure hard to understand issue, and it wasn't inadvertant theft, it was blatant.
I think the jury will see plaintiffs as real people rather than trolls, but I have no concerns about winning either way.
Concerns are Billy settling for too little, or keeping everything for himself.
The idea that companies that steal contribute to society, whereas the people they steal from do not.... I differ with you big time there. We are a civilation built on laws... take that away and it all falls apart.
