There are people who will take new inventions and patent a similar idea
then sue the original patent holder. That’s how they make a living, and most
who do this are Patent attorneys who can hold out and file indefinitely pro-bono.


That pretty closely describes what was challenging our legal department.

People used to ask me why I was not angry with my former wife divorcing me but I WAS angry at the government. I said people act badly all the time, but when the government empowers that activity, it is a whole different animal.

My problem in these patent cases is not with the guy s who have the patents. It is with the government supporting their very bad behavior with the power of the gun.

I've read that copywriting at the same time an invention is sent in for Patent
covers a lot of legal grounds and prevents many lawsuits or thefts of proprietary property.
Some say no, but many say yes. I'm not talking about software, but actual brick and mortar
inventions like the Hammer.

Taking into account of the many ways that theft is legally done, I would guess that
covering every aspect of an idea would be of benefit such as including every angle
on the same patent, or separately.

I'm inquiring because I have one that's been in the works for years
and I've read the horror stories, and about the lives ruined forever.
