Head of USPTO says explosion of patent litigation is "natural and reasonable"
http://j.mp/Ud6nxx (ars technica)
Indeed, Kappos suggested that the volume of patent litigation in the
smartphone industry was a sign that the patent system was working as
intended. "The explosion of litigation we are seeing is a reflection
of how the patent system wires us for innovation," Kappos said. "It's
natural and reasonable that innovators would seek to protect their
breakthroughs using the patent system."

patent litigation is NOT natural and reasonable!
