Yet another person from the States on the Patent infrigment wagon, how suspiciously unsuprising..
Reform the Patent system already!
very interesting, i have notice that almost all of the company are in asia. this is so stupid, it like saying hey let make a car with no WHEEL. just because someone patent it.
now i believe that NA economy is really hurting that bad.
they stoop so low as to use a stupid broken system to extort money from companies from other countries.
my my how the wheels are turning so is the color of the bones and skin.
god how stupid have people become (this woman specific). can any one spell frivolous lawsuit (i can't but i barely passed english). this is about as stupid as sueing McDonalds because they didn't put enough salt on your fries (hmm if she wins then thats what i will do)
