Here we go again!
I still do NOT understand how companies can get away with buying vague patents and then using them to cripple other companies!
This whole patent trolling thing smacks of Extortion, the vast majority of these patents should never have been given.
So they have a patent that outlines a vague description of some vague process, how is this a patent?
They did no invent the microprocessor, electronics or LCD display used in a mobile phones, they did not copyright the software code or the programs used to make them work.
All they have done is to think of a new possible way to use existing patented/copyrighted stuff to do something else.
I would sue them filing a patent that uses technologies they do not own the right to use.
Patent 4-19419-419
A device that causes the user to exhibit but not limited to enjoyment, excitement, joy, amusement, fear, horror or happiness. These emotional states would be caused due to through visual or audio stimulus created by a photon emitting display and/or air wave compression device.
Now everyone you have to stop using any device with an LCD screen or speaker/headphone socket because if you watch any video or listen to any music or receive or initiate any conversation which may possibly cause an emotional state described in the patent you will be in breach of my patent.
You can of course buy a license, just 100 million for 10 year global license!
If America does not deal with this patent troll situation, they may find that the rest of the world just ignores their patent rights globally.
