@@newshodgepodge6329 Actually, both of you are incorrect! If the patent handn't been granted, the lawyers would not be able to sue for patent infringement! As the lawyers did not violate any laws!

Oops…a little out of date now. But I remember watching this documentary years ago. The east Texas court mafia has been shut down now. I think this documentary played a big role in that. The patent office is allegedly being reformed now, more progress is needed in regards to US Patent Office.
Thank GOD! I know there's EVIL in the world. And it comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. I never thought that those who are supposed to HELP you. Are HURTING you? What kind of world are we living in?
Those patent office reforms initiated under Biden (and all the consumer advocacy, banking reforms and anti-trust litigation) will cease when Trump takes office. He’s a big fan of patent trolling (and trolling in general) and is owned by CEOs with anti-trust cases before the court. 13 billionaires in his cabinet don’t want any impediments to their rape and pillage of the American consumer.
Extortion is a crime. Unfortunately the statute of limitations has probably expired. These trolls need to be in jail and their proceeds of crime seized using civil asset forfeiture laws. Normally I don’t condone CAF but in this case everything they own is derived from extortion.
A good friend of mine. A real hard worker, very smart, deep thinker. He had filed 12 or more patants on verious things that he created on his own. He started a new engineering job a few years ago, after 8 months into his new job, the company claimed that because he worked for them, that they owned his patents and demanded that he sign them over to corporate immediately, they took him to court buried him in litigation and won. Even tho these patants were filed long before he ever hired into this company. It financial ruined him!
in High school i had teacher also had this happen to her even after leaving they kept trying to take her stuff. The thing is its us that need to learn to use the systems towords ourselves we need to sue them back and also vote.
We the people.... Need to start coming up with ways to sue corporations. Make laws that say they can't take things from people among other things. I mean isn't that what the governments really for? We the people? It would seem as tho the people have lost this battle. But we will win the war!!

Its because the people in this documentary complaining about patent abuses are using the exact same systems when it benefits them. In true libertarian fashion, they are only complaining because they are the victims, but if someone even remotely copied their ideas, then they would also submit frivolous lawsuits. And the issue isn't the frivolous lawsuits, the issue is that the legal process takes too long and is incredibly expensive. If lawmakers make it cheaper and faster to resolve cases, then it would no longer be financially feasible to make an industry out of patent trolling.

I don't understand how all this is possible. All my life I have been told that you cannot patent an idea or a concept. And I just did more research to confirm that. However, many of the "patents" cited in this documentaries are patents of ideas and concepts. If these "patents" really do exist, it points to a much bigger problem: Something fishy is going on at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The documentary is not being entirely truthful. We don't know how novel the patent ideas are, so I would take everything that they say with a grain of salt.

What about the requirement that a patent must be actively developled by the patent holder? For example, if I patent a better mouse trap I have to be actively be engaged in making and or marketing the product in order to enforce it.

It should be the idea of states. Everybody has to use it and it is a must for all powerfull group of people, you can get a return from nearly the entire poplulation of earth. Wait better one, common human genes. Everybody uses it so you get money from all born people. It is also patentable because people patented genes before. "Sir we found you slept with this woman." "So?" "You must pay us for patented genes inherited or we will sue you." "But she is not pregnant." "Sir she used the genes so we will get our due also she pays us everytime she produces independent living tissue which may result in replication of our patent."
They thought of that. That is why their bogus patents are held by shell companies and their ownership structure is convoluted. Suing a shell gets you bupkiss even when you win. The only real solution is political legislative reform.
John deere does the same things with licensing. Those farmers never own the equipment and software- they license it, and they have to pay dearly for that- pun intended 😅

Glad to be Dutch. Over here it's quite simple. *_The losing party pays for all costs,_* unlike in the US where you have to pay your legal costs, whether you win or lose the lawsuit. That's pretty convenient for big companies or government when the highway cops have seized thousands and thousands of dollars from a citizen during a traffic stop without being charged. You can only get it back by starting a lawsuit and spend thousands and thousands dollars even more without any guarantee that you will win and get it back. All these victims know better than to sue the government because there is a big chance that you'll lose your lawsuit and have lost the money invested in the lawsuit as well!
@1:05:14 no business owner will go down the path of litigation that will take years and cost millions and their settlement always have a non-disclosure clause! This is a perfect example why attorneys are hated so much by the public!!!
Clown world intensifies, excellent doc thank you so much. If all the companies would band together against them as one entity the trolls and even judges are going behind bars for extortion. They pray on singled out victims not communicating. COUNTER SUE THEM TO HELL TOGETHER. SURELY THERE ARE OTHER HUNGRY SHARKS TO EAT THE TROLLS RIGHT UP
Phenominal job done on this documentary, in spite of the suffering it caused behind the scenes. Kudos to those who enlighten others to INJUSTICE and fight the good fight. This type of lawlessness is why the INSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE was born. 🙏❤
USPTO allows the holder of intellectual property to sue someone for replicating results claimed in a patent. I was surprised by this, having received a cease and desist letter because I was merely trying to test a claim. I checked with multiple patent lawyers. I had to stop my efforts. This is wrong, IMO. I was not attempting to compete or steal.
One thing you didnt seem to notice is that people no longer dial a phone. Theres no dial! No dial- no dialing- no patent on touch screening or speak phoning etc... a phone number. We dont even use that language any more. We say "make" or "made" a call, not dialed a phone number. Surely a patent should use more specific language to describe if its for any other types of making a phone call not using a dial.

There are two companies; one in DC, and one just outside of the Beltway… There sole business model is as the client of a foreign government. They basically scrape every shred of data off of as many patent items as they possibly can. They then take that data out of america and get to work on producing it themselves. Been that way for 2+ decades
I have several inventions I have thought of a getting a patent for but because of my father inlaw experience and stories like these I have just sat on them! 🤕

At some point is everyone going to learn the lesson that capitalism shouldn’t be involved in the public interest? Thanks to a patent, my medication is $970 for a 30 day supply. I’m so impoverished that I sleep on the floor. Patents should be utilized to document the people who originated an idea for our collective public interest and then be made available to everyone so that we may continue to innovate and advance without the exploitation that is inherent with capitalism.
Should companies suing patent infringement must prove first that their patent was infringed and the cost of discovery should be borne by them. Maybe DOGE should have authority to stop these trivial lawsuits at the gate. How could American businesses flourish with these leeches?
The US Constitution only authorizes patents on real objects in the classical sense. All of the so-called patent laws on program code, drugs, jeans, etcetera are unconstitutional. They are illegal.
If you own the patent, you are allowed to sue those who infringe. You are allowed to sell licenses to use it. That is the entire point. It is far more difficult to fix than this
@ you are allowed to sue yes. And I am allowed to counter sue as well..: pretty sue my counter suit will hold more weight than theirs.. especially given their actions.. Even IF they win their suit, I can still win mine and they may come out worse.. maybe even see jail time.. Better option than “oh gee! I been sued what ever can I do? Guess I’ll give in to their demands because they have a super vague and overly broad patent” approach

As a non-immigrant working as a consultant in a heavy truck product development department an idea occurred to me. The manager threatened me to surrender the idea quoting that majority of patents are applied only by Americans. I said heck with your company. Was fired. I applied for the patent without hiring an attorney. The company influenced the USPTO to abandon my application. I spoke with the USPTO and got them convinced that the reply to the objections was filed in time. Got it granted in 2 years and 8 months.

The Patent office has been around for a very long time and they have no one that oversees or regulates what can be filed as an actual Patent where anything that describes someone performing an action using a physical item like a "Stick to throw for a dog" can be filed as a Patent and this is where the heart of this problem is. A class action suet is what is needed for a case like this where many non patent citizens need to group together to explain that this is a violation of peoples right to own personal property that needs to involve data even though data is not a physical object is still needs to be seen as personal property the same goes for any unclaimed physical items that do not hold some sort of serial or patent tied number of the object or data that a citizen comes into possession of. The difficulty with this is that it involves legal documentation, physical and non physical items like a "stick" or "data", and physical and non physical possession of physical and non physical items. Now how is someone going to argue in a court room about a non physical item that no one has any physical possession of but still is able to sue someone for use or accessing these non physical items that somehow a company holds a Patent for? Only in America I guess would something as dumb as this become a 300 thousand to 3 million dollar legal issue where someone in the common public wouldn't be able to defend themselves from. God Bless America!

The government is probably involved in it. How else does it cost so much money to fight them in court? How else do they get away with what their doing? How else would Google allow someone else to hold a patent on Google's technology. How else does it take so long? Cuz it's the government that also involved in it.

The most exploited idea that was never patented?...
...was the patent system itself.
It should be the idea of states. Everybody has to use it and it is a must for all powerfull group of people, you can get a return from nearly the entire poplulation of earth.
Wait better one, common human genes. Everybody uses it so you get money from all born people. It is also patentable because people patented genes before.
"Sir we found you slept with this woman."
"So?"
"You must pay us for patented genes inherited or we will sue you."
"But she is not pregnant."
"Sir she used the genes so we will get our due also she pays us everytime she produces independent living tissue which may result in replication of our patent."
im gonna file a patent on a system of patenting and sue the patent system for infringement

Never been a federal juror? The only time you decide where to walk is lunchtime. And you have to pay for it yourself.
Counter-sue! Discover who else they have scammed and create a series of suing them out of business!
They have nothing to take. Their business is run thru shell companies that have no worth.
They thought of that. That is why their bogus patents are held by shell companies and their ownership structure is convoluted. Suing a shell gets you bupkiss even when you win. The only real solution is political legislative reform.
You'd be suing a shell company with no assets.
John deere does the same things with licensing. Those farmers never own the equipment and software- they license it, and they have to pay dearly for that- pun intended 😅
ALL software is 'licensed' - NOT owned - read the EULA's - oh, wait... "End-user license agreement" - and yes, you accepted it, on installing any program. Meaning, they 'could' have you remove it - or pay, of course.
Extortion scams
Yeah they are horrible, but guys like this ones on this video need a go fund me and make this as public as possible.
i was a child prodigy, when i was 2 i invented walking.. anyone that can walk needs to pay royalties to myself..

What if someone breaks that non disclosure agreement and the old snowball develops? A court of INCOMPETENT JURISDICTION? Corrupt? Follow the money …

Did you see it ?
NDA's keep anyone from talking about the case, and this guy is demanding Names.
Such a catch 22. If they disclose, he goes after them. If they don't, he claims you dont have a case.
Devide and concur is the name of their game.
Forcing people to settle, then kicking them in the teeth with an NDA !
It's gotta stop !
This is not what America was ment to be.
But that is what it has become
I Am angry 😡 thumbs up if you are with me
Everyone's angry about everything bro.
They did the same thing with the automobile in the early 1900s and if it wasn't fixed we wouldn't have cars we need to fix this
Reminds me of the story about Apple having a patent on round corners, something that humans have been doing for thousands of years.
Glad to be Dutch.
Over here it's quite simple. *_The losing party pays for all costs,_* unlike in the US where you have to pay your legal costs, whether you win or lose the lawsuit.
That's pretty convenient for big companies or government when the highway cops have seized thousands and thousands of dollars from a citizen during a traffic stop without being charged.
You can only get it back by starting a lawsuit and spend thousands and thousands dollars even more without any guarantee that you will win and get it back.
All these victims know better than to sue the government because there is a big chance that you'll lose your lawsuit and have lost the money invested in the lawsuit as well!
@1:05:14 no business owner will go down the path of litigation that will take years and cost millions and their settlement always have a non-disclosure clause! This is a perfect example why attorneys are hated so much by the public!!!
Shakesphere had a famous quote about lawyers but im not allowed to say it here.
Patent trolling is extortion, and should be treated as such, a crime
Clown world intensifies, excellent doc thank you so much. If all the companies would band together against them as one entity the trolls and even judges are going behind bars for extortion. They pray on singled out victims not communicating. COUNTER SUE THEM TO HELL TOGETHER. SURELY THERE ARE OTHER HUNGRY SHARKS TO EAT THE TROLLS RIGHT UP
Also use fake cell towers to block and monitor comms
The patent system needs drastic change. With more time passing, and patent trolls destroying lives, maybe it should just be abolished.
Phenominal job done on this documentary, in spite of the suffering it caused behind the scenes. Kudos to those who enlighten others to INJUSTICE and fight the good fight. This type of lawlessness is why the INSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE was born. 🙏❤
Knowledge can not be owned by anyone !! If you want your knowledge to be a secret, don't publish it !!! Everybody has the right to invent any tech!!
USPTO allows the holder of intellectual property to sue someone for replicating results claimed in a patent. I was surprised by this, having received a cease and desist letter because I was merely trying to test a claim. I checked with multiple patent lawyers. I had to stop my efforts. This is wrong, IMO. I was not attempting to compete or steal.
One thing you didnt seem to notice is that people no longer dial a phone. Theres no dial! No dial- no dialing- no patent on touch screening or speak phoning etc... a phone number.
We dont even use that language any more. We say "make" or "made" a call, not dialed a phone number.
Surely a patent should use more specific language to describe if its for any other types of making a phone call not using a dial.
You should patent the touching of a screen so that it enables you to contact another person in day to day life....
Remember I gave you the idea lol

There are two companies; one in DC, and one just outside of the Beltway… There sole business model is as the client of a foreign government. They basically scrape every shred of data off of as many patent items as they possibly can. They then take that data out of america and get to work on producing it themselves. Been that way for 2+ decades
Somebody needs to patent the patent troll idea.Then sue all the patent trolls.
Heyyy!!!
Too bad RUclips censors won’t let me say what I really think you should do. But I agree with that guys son!!!!
I have several inventions I have thought of a getting a patent for but because of my father inlaw experience and stories like these I have just sat on them! 🤕
I have a US patent, also in Canada. I’ve been sitting on it partly out of fear of the rich overlords who will beat it out of me.
These Types of Crimes wouldn't happen if the Courts, the Judiciary werent Corrupt and on the Take Themselves. The Judiciaries are Responsible for the Corruption Sewer we live in. How Anyone can Sell their Souls, their own Self Respect so Easily is hard to Understand. Maybe they were Pressured. They should have United and Stood Up against the Pressure Together.
Why do U.S. states subsidize the training of ever more lawyers?
citizen class action lawsuit for fraud creating new precedent to charge these felons over?

At some point is everyone going to learn the lesson that capitalism shouldn’t be involved in the public interest?
Thanks to a patent, my medication is $970 for a 30 day supply. I’m so impoverished that I sleep on the floor.
Patents should be utilized to document the people who originated an idea for our collective public interest and then be made available to everyone so that we may continue to innovate and advance without the exploitation that is inherent with capitalism.
These lawsuits make no sense... for example scanning something to email.. why aren't they suiting the scanner manufacturers then
Now I know why developing countries say IP is hindering their county's development. They are just like startups.
How about crowdsourcing it? Or sueing it in a class action lawsuit? I'm in if anyone wants signature petition.
Why not appeal to the Institute for Justice. They get things done. This has to be changed at the legislative level.
There needs to be an insurance system for defense in this situation

Or… OR. End the patent system
Can't you do a modified patent contrary to their patent and do the exact same thing to them? Or a design patent? Give the dr his own medicine
Let's make a patent for patent trolling and frivolous patents, so whenever they sue we sue them
You sue them, they own nothing, company dissolves and the problem isn’t solved at all
Should companies suing patent infringement must prove first that their patent was infringed and the cost of discovery should be borne by them. Maybe DOGE should have authority to stop these trivial lawsuits at the gate. How could American businesses flourish with these leeches?
Red light cameras and other traffic violations, it cost more to dispute it than to pay the fine.
Same con, but from the gov.
Income tax.
The US Constitution only authorizes patents on real objects in the classical sense.
All of the so-called patent laws on program code, drugs, jeans, etcetera are unconstitutional.
They are illegal.
Sue THEM (owners) for extortion, racketeering, fraud, intimidation, etc.
Think federal charges.
If you own the patent, you are allowed to sue those who infringe. You are allowed to sell licenses to use it. That is the entire point. It is far more difficult to fix than this
@ you are allowed to sue yes. And I am allowed to counter sue as well..: pretty sue my counter suit will hold more weight than theirs.. especially given their actions..
Even IF they win their suit, I can still win mine and they may come out worse.. maybe even see jail time..
Better option than “oh gee! I been sued what ever can I do? Guess I’ll give in to their demands because they have a super vague and overly broad patent” approach
Sue people for doing something that’s completely legal? Dude you don’t understand our legal system. We need to end patents and intellectual property.
It’s a Netflix documentary level. Very high quality. Very useful information.
This is INSANE!
Too bad for lawyers. They had such a good reputation before patent trolls.
Take the common element in all of these ridiculous patents, and create a patent for the rights to practice it.
This is especially discouraging for young people who want to be entrepreneurs in the tech industry. So many scams and frauds and cheats everywhere but it's a nightmare. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry this happened to you.💔
great content and a story well told Sir respect and appreciation great work brother
As a non-immigrant working as a consultant in a heavy truck product development department an idea occurred to me. The manager threatened me to surrender the idea quoting that majority of patents are applied only by Americans. I said heck with your company. Was fired. I applied for the patent without hiring an attorney. The company influenced the USPTO to abandon my application. I spoke with the USPTO and got them convinced that the reply to the objections was filed in time. Got it granted in 2 years and 8 months.
Is this why half of US companies are registered in Delaware?
German companies too !
Z.B. the "German finanzamt" , the German motor vehicle department and so on !
That's for tax reasons.
No. Delaware has better taxes and a faster legal system for processing corporate stuff. Such as mergers, bankruptcy, and suits for misconduct and whatnot
Good documentary, thank you. Clearly vein popping worthy.
We need the CEO ender to sort this one
Hey folks, I looked up the major stockholders at marathon and low and behold, are ya ready? Blackrock, state street, vanguard Morgan Stanley.... Now, look and see who the major stockholders are at Google?

Sounds like I need to patent. Being able to File lawsuit against people for Patton infringement.
This is like he said, thugs busting up your store then turning around and charging you a fee to not bust up your store again... A so-called protection racket. All abetted by the Patent Office and, ultimately, by the Legislature.
Its a government monopoly.
Imagine someone suing for coments as he owns the patent for coments
After that another sing you for a like
Then someone sues you for deleting the coment.
A fourth person for uninstaling the app itself....
In the end your hardware is only used for zen meditation as the idea of using it is patented....
Unfortunately, I’ll have to side with the eight year-old on this one.
Patent Trolls have been brought down in recent years. They can never explain their claim to any Judge.
Exactly all these folks need to group together and file lawsuits. Forget those NDA's
😂😂😂😂 oh NDA mostly for sexual adventures

Someone needs to start a company that fights against patent troles!!!
The Patent office has been around for a very long time and they have no one that oversees or regulates what can be filed as an actual Patent where anything that describes someone performing an action using a physical item like a "Stick to throw for a dog" can be filed as a Patent and this is where the heart of this problem is. A class action suet is what is needed for a case like this where many non patent citizens need to group together to explain that this is a violation of peoples right to own personal property that needs to involve data even though data is not a physical object is still needs to be seen as personal property the same goes for any unclaimed physical items that do not hold some sort of serial or patent tied number of the object or data that a citizen comes into possession of.
The difficulty with this is that it involves legal documentation, physical and non physical items like a "stick" or "data", and physical and non physical possession of physical and non physical items. Now how is someone going to argue in a court room about a non physical item that no one has any physical possession of but still is able to sue someone for use or accessing these non physical items that somehow a company holds a Patent for? Only in America I guess would something as dumb as this become a 300 thousand to 3 million dollar legal issue where someone in the common public wouldn't be able to defend themselves from. God Bless America!
this is wild
My oh my, finally RUclips did something useful for me!
I need this! I am recommending to a friend of mine.
Welcome to the American scre.... er.... uhhhh...... dream...........
Fantastic job on this video. I learned a lot. It's absolutely incredibly disturbing how prevalent this problem is. And then there's the horrible stories of all the inventors' suppressed technologies that have also fallen victim to these vultures. When they can't bankrupt you, or but you out, they snuff you out. ☠️ Corrupt gangsters and criminals.
Doesn't the higher courts over see the case load of the lower courts ?
It would be Insannity if they willfully look the otherway.
This is just crazy... more people should know about this...
