that bet was already placed over 10 years ago, and they bet correctly.
The USPTO doesn't get involved in patent infringement cases, so they don't need to bet on the USPTO.
They are placing their bets on people's ignorance of patent law, and at the first showing of a patent document and a legalese letter from an attorney, that the webmaster learns a new trick... how to rollover rover.
They are betting on the fact that general counsel and CFO types in a company will make the BUSINESS decision that it's cheaper to pay than it is to fight.
We already know that both bets presented above are true.
Fight The Patent!
