We all expected that the USPTO would carry RIM water. There is quite a story behind that.
We are hopeful that the court will slap RIM's and the USPTO's paddies. While RIM seems to be unable to produce the more important inventions they need for their market we all know that they are very effective at lobbying our government and institutions.
So like I said before, those patents stand until the last appeal and if even one claim stood RIM would have been in very deep do-do. That is why they paid up and then spent a great deal of money trying to convince everyone that they were the victim.
The real victim was Thomas Campana Jr. who was a classic serial American inventor. Other American inventors have also been victims of RIM. Eventually they will get real justice.

I think the point being made by whoever is posting as staff is that you ignore a huge body of credible (I make this point because the stuff you cite is not credible)evidence that inventors do advance society. The underlying problem is that characterize those who produce products based on other stolen inventions as innovators. They are most certainly innovators of cover stories trying to explain away grand larceny. Now you and I know that there is no shortage of credible stories where your idea of "innovators" have been hosed for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars which belonged to the inventors.
Mike, your position on these issues is in left field, totally unsupportable, so why you you continue to discredit yourself?

How is it that you manage to focus almost exclusively on drivel commissioned by large corporate thieves, consistently push their agenda of socializing inventors property and then whine when someone calls you on it. How do you focus on the 1% fringe anti-patent stuff and miss all the stuff which tells the truth?
Our investment in our inventions is just important to us and in most cases much more important then your investment in building TechDIRT.

"Photographer Thrilled That Apple Using His Photo As Default iPad Background, Despite No Official Agreement"
Isn't the point that the photograph is his property and it is his decision about rather to donate it or not.
Now maybe he sees this as his break and hopes to sell other photographs. But what happens if all his work is taken without compensation?
It is interesting that Apple's engineering talent is used to milk customers at every turn and that they expect to be paid very well while they disrespect others intellectual property.

"A recent study which I'll be writing about shortly actually showed how most inventions take place due to a company needing the solution themselves -- thus, not for the sake of selling it directly to profit, though that often comes later."
Mike, you sure swallow big corporate propaganda hook, line and sinker. Even if this was true, most of these company inventions are minor incremental ones. Breakthrough market altering, disruptive advances come from independent and academic inventors most of the time.
You say "there is tremendous evidence that shows your wrong" to which I say the idea is right but you have applied it wrong, YOU are the one who ignores TREMENDOUS evidence that the patent system is beneficial.
Also, you keep whining about people distrusting your motives. If you were an inventor (and contrary to your previous claims you are no) who spent years, sometimes decades in perfecting an invention only to have some quick buck marketing weasel come along and steal it or try to steal it you would have a very different perspective.
As I see it you are feeding to one degree or another at the trough of some of the worst tech and financial dis-service companies who just happen to be associated with stealing from inventors. That and the fact that you do promote their agenda of allowing theft of inventions gives everyone a very good reason to question your motives.
On the issue of your upbringing I am the first to admit that regardless of a patents best efforts some children just do not turn out the way we would like. Conversely, some children grow up and closely follow the example set by their parents, good or bad. We really don't have any way of knowing what the situation is with you. But we do know from your actions that you are pushing an agenda counter to what current law and policy says is right and it is reasonable to wonder why.

This quote is from an attorney representing an invention promoter. MIT has a program, the Lemelson-MIT awards and part of that program is to identify contemporary inventors, one a week and I was recognized by that MIT program. I do not think that MIT is a "small organization" and that it is more likely that the idiot who wrote it was smoking something.
I am listed in many of the Marquees Who's Who publications. This is the real who's who, not one where you can purchase listings. It is there in black and white and can be found in most public libraries. By the Mike, have any of your accomplishments led to your being listed in Marquees Who's Who?
Returning to the invention promotion problem, these companies run ads on TV and many call people with issued patents. They claim that they can market inventions when in fact all they market are themselves. They are fleecing aspiring inventors for typically $10,000 to $50,000. The industry is raking in in excess of $500 million a year.
InventorEd investigates these companies, when we have enough evidence we publish it in our Caution section at www.InventorEd.org/caution/.
We compile data and supply it to media and law enforcement. Companies which we have targeted have been subjected to the long arm of the law. These cases run on for years, one more than a decade but we have played a role in one fraudster being assessed $26 million, another being assessed $60 million and being shut down and there are other cases including ones which will hopefully lead to criminal convictions.
I am sure that you can understand why these crooks do not like InventorEd or those of us who run it and the affiliated organizations. I think that who dislikes us may be a better measure of our accomplishments then who likes us :)
Regarding Mike and his evidence, citing work of those who are sucking at big corporate tits is not proof. Mike's proof rates right next to claims that tobacco is safe.
All the rationalizations in the world do not make ripping off or advocating ripping off inventors acceptable. Patent property rights are the law of the land and that is not going to change. Obey the law and we can all get along. Steal from us and we will adjust attitudes.

The USPTO grants virtually every reexamination request and their first action in every case is to invalidate all the claims. This is especially true when the infringer is a well heeled politically active company.
In any event, this means nothing, what matters is what happens in the final appeal. If even one infringed claim stands, and usually this is the case, then the infringer gets hosed. That is why RIM paid out $612 million dollars.
What is funny is that they turned a $5-10 million dollar case into $612 million in the process. Eventually they will learn just as Microsoft has learned to some degree. Google will also learn in the same way. talking about not doing evil is not a good substitute for actually doing so!

I have been inventing for at least 45 years and developed a great deal in that time.
Average IQ is 90-110, People at 50-60 IQ generally need assisted living. My IQ places me a one in a million. Einstein's IQ makes me look dull (I spent many years studying relativity and for the most part understand it).
Beyond this it is a fact that IQ only measures a tiny facet of human capabilities and people with average or even below average IQ can and do invent but they may not be as effective at mastering a huge spectrum of skills which are necessary to succeed.
IQ is not linear, Think of it like measuring sound volume when a barely perceptible increase is actually twice the power.
As a young man I thought that people with high IQ would stand head and shoulders above their peers. What I found is that it is not this simple.
I like to compare the brain to a group of networked computer which have limited communication between them, where each computer is based on a different operating system and have often been modified to serve a purpose other then what they were intended to do (I have extensive engineering background in both hardware (digital & analog) and software (scores of languages and hundreds of dialects).
I have been mostly in management for the last twenty years or so but had the benefit of being involved in designing multiple processor real time industrial control systems at a time when micro programming was not well established.
Programmers come in a wide spectrum of capabilities just as people's IQ cover a wide spectrum. Most programmers are performing low level repetitive tasks and are incapable of understanding the big picture but their egos preclude them from admitting even to themselves that they are limited.
It seems to me that much of the hostility shown towards inventors is related to the entitlement minded & mediocre software crowd who are looking for a free ride.
And there is little doubt that there are a few paid corporate stooges working on behalf of companies who are stealing who hope to avoid the consequences of their actions.

Isn't the point that the photograph is his property and it is his decision about rather to donate it or not.
Now maybe he sees this as his break and hopes to sell other photographs. But what happens if all his work is taken without compensation?
It is interesting that Apple's engineering talent is used to milk customers at every turn and that they expect to be paid very well while they disrespect others intellectual property.

Who funded the study?
Mike, you sure swallow big corporate propaganda hook, line and sinker. Even if this was true, most of these company inventions are minor incremental ones. Breakthrough market altering, disruptive advances come from independent and academic inventors most of the time.
You say "there is tremendous evidence that shows your wrong" to which I say the idea is right but you have applied it wrong, YOU are the one who ignores TREMENDOUS evidence that the patent system is beneficial.
Also, you keep whining about people distrusting your motives. If you were an inventor (and contrary to your previous claims you are no) who spent years, sometimes decades in perfecting an invention only to have some quick buck marketing weasel come along and steal it or try to steal it you would have a very different perspective.
As I see it you are feeding to one degree or another at the trough of some of the worst tech and financial dis-service companies who just happen to be associated with stealing from inventors. That and the fact that you do promote their agenda of allowing theft of inventions gives everyone a very good reason to question your motives.
On the issue of your upbringing I am the first to admit that regardless of a patents best efforts some children just do not turn out the way we would like. Conversely, some children grow up and closely follow the example set by their parents, good or bad. We really don't have any way of knowing what the situation is with you. But we do know from your actions that you are pushing an agenda counter to what current law and policy says is right and it is reasonable to wonder why.

Society benefits most from dueling inventors who leapfrog each other. Large companies generally are content to continue to rake in money from what they already have.

Re: Re: fraud
I am listed in many of the Marquees Who's Who publications. This is the real who's who, not one where you can purchase listings. It is there in black and white and can be found in most public libraries. By the Mike, have any of your accomplishments led to your being listed in Marquees Who's Who?
Returning to the invention promotion problem, these companies run ads on TV and many call people with issued patents. They claim that they can market inventions when in fact all they market are themselves. They are fleecing aspiring inventors for typically $10,000 to $50,000. The industry is raking in in excess of $500 million a year.
InventorEd investigates these companies, when we have enough evidence we publish it in our Caution section at www.InventorEd.org/caution/.
We compile data and supply it to media and law enforcement. Companies which we have targeted have been subjected to the long arm of the law. These cases run on for years, one more than a decade but we have played a role in one fraudster being assessed $26 million, another being assessed $60 million and being shut down and there are other cases including ones which will hopefully lead to criminal convictions.
I am sure that you can understand why these crooks do not like InventorEd or those of us who run it and the affiliated organizations. I think that who dislikes us may be a better measure of our accomplishments then who likes us :)
Regarding Mike and his evidence, citing work of those who are sucking at big corporate tits is not proof. Mike's proof rates right next to claims that tobacco is safe.
All the rationalizations in the world do not make ripping off or advocating ripping off inventors acceptable. Patent property rights are the law of the land and that is not going to change. Obey the law and we can all get along. Steal from us and we will adjust attitudes.

Re: Re: Re: ALSO
In any event, this means nothing, what matters is what happens in the final appeal. If even one infringed claim stands, and usually this is the case, then the infringer gets hosed. That is why RIM paid out $612 million dollars.
What is funny is that they turned a $5-10 million dollar case into $612 million in the process. Eventually they will learn just as Microsoft has learned to some degree. Google will also learn in the same way. talking about not doing evil is not a good substitute for actually doing so!

Re: Re: Patentees Make Staggering Investments
Average IQ is 90-110, People at 50-60 IQ generally need assisted living. My IQ places me a one in a million. Einstein's IQ makes me look dull (I spent many years studying relativity and for the most part understand it).
Beyond this it is a fact that IQ only measures a tiny facet of human capabilities and people with average or even below average IQ can and do invent but they may not be as effective at mastering a huge spectrum of skills which are necessary to succeed.
IQ is not linear, Think of it like measuring sound volume when a barely perceptible increase is actually twice the power.
As a young man I thought that people with high IQ would stand head and shoulders above their peers. What I found is that it is not this simple.
I like to compare the brain to a group of networked computer which have limited communication between them, where each computer is based on a different operating system and have often been modified to serve a purpose other then what they were intended to do (I have extensive engineering background in both hardware (digital & analog) and software (scores of languages and hundreds of dialects).
I have been mostly in management for the last twenty years or so but had the benefit of being involved in designing multiple processor real time industrial control systems at a time when micro programming was not well established.
Programmers come in a wide spectrum of capabilities just as people's IQ cover a wide spectrum. Most programmers are performing low level repetitive tasks and are incapable of understanding the big picture but their egos preclude them from admitting even to themselves that they are limited.
It seems to me that much of the hostility shown towards inventors is related to the entitlement minded & mediocre software crowd who are looking for a free ride.
And there is little doubt that there are a few paid corporate stooges working on behalf of companies who are stealing who hope to avoid the consequences of their actions.
