The article discusses the complexities and misconceptions surrounding patent litigation, especially in the gaming industry. It highlights that while patent owners are often demonized, not all are bad actors, and enforcement actions can be mischaracterized. The article points out that some patent owners engage in 'nuisance lawsuits,' raising ethical concerns. It also mentions how weak patents in the U.S. have led to 'efficient infringement,' with large companies exploiting patents without proper licensing, complicating the dynamics of patent ownership and enforcement.
Having said that, it would be naïve to assume that all patent owners act in only good faith and with the purest of intentions.
The truth is over the last generation patents have gotten so weak in the United States that they are not a property right.
