Used to be called patent trolling, but now that all the big corporations that own the politicians deciding patent law are doing it, it’s considered “prudent business practice”
IBM alone files more patents that they’ll never use (except for lawsuits in case someone else does something useful with something similar) in a year than most companies file IN TOTAL for several decades.
Patenting things you don’t have intention of actually doing, “just in case”, is just shit tbh.

That is such fucking bullshit.
Please elaborate.
Bad phrasing, that they do that is such fucking bullshit, that’s fucked. Fuck IBM is what I was saying.
