Man sues 92 companies over chip patent

Comments

Lol

Is it just me or there is ton of prior art from the companies that are sued...

Most of this patent bullshit is useless. Going to fill a patent for red menus right away... beware :-)

WTF

Filed in 1998. What crap. From asics to CPUs...this technique is not only "obvious" IMO, it has been used in chips produced years before 98.

WTF? Got to love a patent system that grants patents for the sake of granting pantents. (collecting revenue used for programs that have nothing to do with the patent system.)

Umm isn't it called prior art...

Calling out that MIPS RISC chips are in "violation" of his patent point out that he has an invalid patent. MIPS significantly pre-dates his patent application. Gotta love the US patent system. Get some real experts in there to evaluate them before granting.
