Remember when patents were considered this grand thing?

That, should you be so lucky to create some great idea and then patent it, the world would be better and you’d be rewarded for your genius!

I am 1st or second author on two granted patents. I have received neither any compensation nor any benefit for it. I don’t even get to do anything with them because they are property of another company.

Patents don’t even appear to be serving their intended purpose, I mean Broadcom odd just blocking the use, meaning Netflix subscribers just got a worse service now when Netflix could easily just pay to license like they should have.

Ridiculous
