How to deal with patents?
noonespecial: Patents these days are so broad and so many that whatever your idea is, there will be a patent covering it or someone ready to claim that the one they have covers it.Make a good product, make money, then pay lawyers to sort it out for you. Its all mostly pretend now anyway. Patents really have about as much to do with ideas as Scientology has to do with science.It also seems these days that the more a company blathers about patent-pending this and proprietary that, the less actual innovation they've done.
