Sure, but I think there's a big difference between an innovative company actively designing and licensing technology–and a company being formed solely for the purpose of sitting on patents until they can sue a company for infringement.
Maybe I'm incorrect, but in the web 1.0 days, it seems patents were approved which are overly-broad ...
when you're simply conducting industry-specific business over the internet using standard technology and media, how does that pass the non-obvious test?
Can you (or anyone here) recommend a good IP attorney?
"and knowledge that you appear to be infringing"
This is what I'm trying to wrap my head around. What defines "infringing"? The patent abstract covers some features that we do, but also some that we don't.
How much overlap is required before it's considered infringement?
