IBM once had great innovators working for them, many holding Nobel prizes etc but for a while they haven’t had a great idea… until NOW!
It’s a genius idea that will revolutionize the whole patent scheme: They’re filling a patent on Getting money out of patents.

If that doesn’t change the completely stupid and out-of-this-world patent system in US, I don’t know what will…
