Nortel’s LTE Patents a 'National Treasure'

RIM needs to be willing to pay market value. They have the same problem in their dealings with inventors and universities, and that is why they are sued so often.

The problem is that RIM apparently is not able to produce the inventions it needs to serve their customers needs and they have shown an unwillingness to pay those who do produce such inventions.

== The Big Picture ==

All companies lose their ability to produce significant inventions as they age. Most initially try to compensate for this by filing large quantities of patents on minor incremental inventions. This is quantity over quality, and it does not work.

Typically they prey on inventors and as a result inventors start offering their creations to other companies who are more open.

What happens to a company who cannot produce the inventions they need and who alienates those who are producing those inventions?

Take a look at the auto industry for an example. Ten years ago would you have thought the auto industry would implode?

I think that RIM and several dozen other tech companies are on the same destructive path.

OPTi Up on Favorable Patent Ruling Against Apple

What we really have are a bunch of scum sucking patent pirating tech companies who are past their inventive prime who are well known serial infringers. When caught with their sticky fingers in someones patent cookie jars they whine about trolls.

A troll is really the owner of patent property rights and the scum sucking patent pirating whiners are really patent pirates who steal on the grandest of scales.

American ingenuity which is protected by patents is the only thing standing between our current standard of living and a precipitous drop. American inventors must be protected from invention promotion hucksters and big corporate patent pirating shysters alike because it is they who will create new jobs, industries, and prosperity for all.

Can't Take a Hint: Micron Proposes $1.1 Billion in Convertible Senior Notes

There is a difference between quantity and quality, and Micron appears to be losing the innovation game within their industry. Micron is in my opinion a very poor investment risk. Their profitability has been falling for a long time. I think that their competitors are eating their lunch. Many other aging tech companies are in the same boat.

Investors will see better returns by betting on true innovators and on the companies who enforce those innovators property rights. It seems pretty clear that Micron is on the wrong side of these issues.

I think that Micron and a number of other older stagnate tech companies have the same problems which have destroyed many auto companies and that it is only a matter of time before they face the same fate.

Has the Tide Turned Permanently Against Dell?

HP started as a true innovator but their glory days are long gone, as in more than a decade. Today HP is just another mercantile company. Dell has never been much of an innovator, more like a parasite feeding on other's work. Today both are members of the Coalition for Patent Piracy, otherwise known as the Coalition for Patent Fairness.

HP, Dell and other members of this Coalition are on the same path which destroyed the auto industry. They cannot invent anything significant themselves and in their arrogance prey on and have alienated those who do invent. Because of their reputations inventors shun them and take the best to other companies. It is inevitable that these companies will continue to stagnate. In another decade or two they will be in the same state as the auto companies are today.

Blackboard Acts on Patent Award, Angers Customers

All businesses face shop lifters or thieves in conducting their business. Who cares if such get mad? After all, the reason they are mad is that they had larceny in their hearts. That is most certainly the case here.

====

The Professional Inventors Alliance USA was created more than a decade ago to protect American invention and encourage innovation. American inventors saw a need to track congressional legislation and federal policy that impacts independent inventors, small and medium-sized businesses and colleges and universities. The Alliance is the premiere organization in the nation, providing independent inventors a united voice in order to improve public policy.

The Alliance provides legislative counsel, congressional updates and strategy development to its members through a number of vehicles. Additionally, through its speaker’s bureau, Alliance members have an opportunity to provide expert opinion to many of the nation’s top-tier business, technology and mainstream media organizations. Over the years its members have testified before Congress, offered counsel to key Senate and House committee members, and successfully pushed legislation to protect America’s independent inventors.

Since its inception, the Alliance has grown into one of the most vocal advocates for America’s patent system.

Examples of areas of our expertise include David Vs. Goliath patent litigation, patent reform, and we have a unique view of the companies comprising the "Coalition for Patent Pirates".

Please call for a different perspective.
