BRAH BRAH:
One time long ago innovation was more important than litigation.

Then patents were allowed on 'ideas' and 'processes', and corporations decided litigation and intimidation over Intellectual Property was a valid business model. And the 'IP/Copyright Troll' method was born.
If Blackberry gets bought out, this might get worse as they own most of the Wireless portfolio of patents that used to belong to Nortel.
