The patent system needs to be changed in some way. When people talk about monopolies, they seem to rarely mention that the government enforces awful patents. And you don't even need to make the thing, just patent it!

I'm not sure if it's fair to R&D costs to gut patents entirely, but I'd like to see them weakened considerably. Patent trolls should not exist.

Glad to see justice in this case.

Edit: Watched Shenzhen: The Silicon Valley of Hardware, was interesting in regards to loose IP rights.
