Invalidating "bad patents" solves almost nothingInvalidating "bad patents" solves almost nothingPosted May 2, 2012 23:24 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544)Parent article: LFCS 2012: The Linux System Definition

Nonsense.
MPEG LA claims that H.264 is covered by about 50 patents in any given country.
Invalidating 45 out of 50 would change *nothing* (even with just one patent, you can't develop or distribute). And current invalidation efforts have invalidated zero out of 50.
The "bad patents" topic is a distraction used by pro-swpat companies and their sock puppets.
