IBM patened everything they could think of back in the day, and still do to a certain degree today. It has worked out quite well for them, and everyone else has followed a similar business model when it comes down to patents. It's stupid and reform needs to be addressed now that everyone has been doing it, all the down to individuals who don't even know how to materialize their own idea and patent.

These lawsuits just make the lawyers wealthy, and of course ultimately the consumer pays for these legal fees.But the most damage is done by the fact that this discourages true innovation and invention. The thinkers, dreamers, doers of this world should not need to worry about always being sued.There needs to be protection of intellectual property, but the laws need to be reformed to take into account the modern digital era.

Maybe I would have a different though if it was my patent. Am I infringing on someone's patent on using the toilet? Do I need to start paying everyone I go? It seems to me like it stifles innovation by this constant,"This is kind of, sort of, something like, something that we have a patent on."
