Tired of bogus software patents? So are we! To combat these annoying and often dangerous legal weapons, EFF has launched the Patent Busting Project to take down some of worst offenders.
I see that the EFF has a "Patent Busting" program, but it's all overwhelming to me.
Can somebody explain in a few simple bullet points what's wrong with the current US patent system, and why technology companies should or shouldn't invest the time, money, and resources into filing for them?
Something I could use in an argument with the co-founders of my current startup company would be ideal -- I really don't want to put the time and effort into patents if there's no value in doing so.
