One more example that the US patent process is hopelessly broken. The patent process has turned into a vehicle for blackmail as demonstrated in this case and the case of Research In Motion (RIM) versus NTP. RIM paid hundreds of millions of dollars to NTP even though the US patent office had re-examined the five NTP patents involved and ruled them invalid. Thanks to some knuckle-headed judge who threatened to shut down the Blackberry network (and incidently much of the communications for Congress and the Military) if RIM did not pay, NTP, not even a real company which makes product, but a consortium which purchases and trades in patents, walked away with a gold mine. This probably also demonstrates why judges should be appointed and not elected. You can bet NTP will support this clown for years to come.
