The other day I saw an item (can't find it now) about a judge ordering the CEOs of Intel and Intergraph to show up at the mediation hearings. If the CEOs were forced to sit through all this and waste their own time (instead of shareholder's money) I bet there'd be fewer frivolous patents and far fewer frivolous infringement suits. There has to be some way to get the lawyers out of this.

RIM granted handheld email patent - clobbers Handspring. (SOURCE:Radio News Aggie)-Sad. RIM needs to innovate NOT litigate!
Patents were originally designed to protect small inventors, but as with copyright law, the system has been abused to create private monopolies. Now RIM seems to be determined to compete not with its engineering or marketing skills, but with its lawyers. [The Register] via [ Source: Roland Tanglao's Weblog]
