I don't have a problem with the concept of patent protection. It's a valuable protection and it rewards innovation.
But merely buying up thousands of applications on the cheap, hoping to find one that can be wedged somehow into convincing a neophyte court... just filing lawsuits as a business model... this isn't what patent protection is for, IMHO.
When you consider most judges come from the DOJ and have ZERO knowledge of the business or real world, it is not hard to find neophyte judges.
Often times, judicial achievement is just a different form of politicing.
