Comment on US Supreme Court Will Hear Case Re: Standards for Software Patent Eligibilityparent

Comments

Out of curiosity, why did you get the patent?

CEO loved the idea of getting a patent because he thought it would make us look impressive and it would defend us in advance if someone else made a similar thing and tried to attack us with their own BS patent.

Makes me sad when i consider the comparison with my grandfather's multiple rounds of back and forth with the PTO fighting to finally get a patent on a mechanical device. Comparitively yes, they rubber stamp software patents because they clearly dont understand the art. They kind of understand more traditional (aka real) inventions.
