We will continue to be robbed until software patents are outlawed (as they were supposed to be).

Most patents should never have been granted in the first place.
Patents are supposed to be New, Novel, and Non-obvious to someone skilled in the art. Most patents are just "I did it first", which by itself is not worthy of a patent.

The US patent office is usually quite underfunded. They use the fees for patent applications to fund the department. For a few years 10% of those funds were skimmed off the top for the general budget. Had to make up the $$ somewhere. Hence lots of dodgy patents floating around.

How can we get rid of those trolls. We, the government, should annihilate them with better laws.
