Similar to the article linked in the post, SCOTUS has started clamping down on these sorts of patents.[0] I suspect this one will also be killed eventually. It's really a shame that the patent office is still giving out these sorts of patents, however, and wasting everyone's time and effort.<p>[0] <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/supreme-court-ruling-has-wiped-out-11-do-it-on-a-computer-patents-so-far/" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/supreme-court-rul...</a>
hey! nice to get some coverage here. i'm with comingle, one of the companies being sued here. we're building a cache of prior art and are looking for all the help we can get!
They really need to find a way of firing patent examiners who grant these sort of patents. I'm fairly certain that would help reduce the amount of patents granted,
You know, it's really funny that everyone knocks these patents (and rightly so), but the second some service comes up that does the same stuff as has been done before, but suddenly it's "on an app!" that means it's revolutionary, and old regulations shouldn't apply to it.
