Subject: [Patents] intel whining about "patent trolls"
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0108012058010.17286-100000@mulix.oas.a2e.de>

TechSearch, a company that has sued Greg for patent infringement, is now
biting Intel using software patents.  The Intel patent department is
calling them "patent trolls".  A nice word, which should be reserved for
those people at Intel and in other big companies, who have been letting
their patent lawyers run loose and lobby for unlimited patentability.
Now they are getting the punishment they deserve, from people who are
probably not trolls but just clever and unscrupulous businessmen.

Here's the story:
