Microsoft loses i4i appeal, faces Word injunction in three weeks

I just finished reading this article and it grinds on me.

I cannot speak to the details of this patent but on the surface it looks to me like many software patents. They fail on the Non-Obvious test. Maybe it is because I understand software but what amazes me is far different from my wife who is in the medical field and even further from those I meet who are less educated. This does not even come close to impressing me!! I am not a M$ groupie as they have many unworthy patents too. The patent system is broke in this this area as well as others. This is not Dave over Goliath. It is Dave leveraging a broken system over Goliath. The same system Goliath leverages to maintain competitive advantages. Wrong is Wrong even when Dave does it.

Douglas I don't recall where or why I added this book to my library so I wasn't sure what it was about when I started it.   In one sentence: It is the story and career of...
