Google's Kent Walker: "Let's Fight the Patent Trolls"
http://j.mp/SKitdD (Wired)
"Last year alone, more than 4,000 patent lawsuits were filed in the
U.S; it's the highest number ever recorded. Software and internet
patents are litigated about nine times more often than other patents.
Many of those suits seek to exploit low-quality software patents.
Increasingly, these lawsuits are filed by plaintiffs who never did the
hard work of actually creating a real product or service related to
the patent claim."

Kent Walker is senior vice president & general counsel at Google. And
I agree with him 100% on this.
