On: We Stood Up to a Patent Troll and Won

[silasdavis]

Here's a foolish idea: can we patent patent trolling?

Parhaps a patent on some electronics means for discovery of targets for specious patent claims. Or a patent on some 'novel' business process that patent trolls could be argued to rely on. Something sufficiently broad that might be weaponised against patent trolls.

Have I just ruined the patent trolling patent by creating prior art?

Damn it's almost as if there's no such thing as an original idea....

Now you just need to patent the process of having an original idea...

Why not skip the middle man? Just patent patenting.
