ok, now to get the thread back on track.....
yes, the license fee schedule is insane!
Berman said in a YNOT interview that other patent holders charge like 6-10%....as if this was to make things better.... like glueing sandpaper to a pill that you have to swallow.
If all of this outrages you, then you can fight back by pledging your support for Fight The Patent Foundation.
Learn more about my idea of a non-profit organization to specifically focus on fighting against patent abuse cases by petitioning the USPTO directly to invalidate patents as well as to assist defendants in litigation with prior art research and expert witnesses. It's like the ACLU model of helping the little guys that are faced with patent infringement issues, but on a broader scale, where it is a patent abuse case that affects so many companies.
