Dean Kamen
The RIM-NTP dispute has become a game of chicken. It's also almost a given that NTP will mightily contest the legitimacy of any workaround. And it will move forward to exhaust every avenue of appeal the court or the [U.S. Patent and Trademark Office] leave open.
Brownlee Thomas
The original patent didn't have dimensions and contained just enough information to obtain a patent and make competitors sweat.
Marilyn Mccormick
What is a patent troll? According to some, a patent troll is a firm who licenses patents they do not themselves commercialize. Yet, many of the large firms who are most critical of the practice do it themselves.

The branded industry is losing drugs from patent and the generic industry is circling like buzzards to pick them up. It's wonderful for the generic pharmaceutical industry. There's more food on the plate.
Casey Alexander
We are rapidly becoming a land of hypochondriacs, from the ulcer-and-martini executives in the big city to the patent medicine patrons in the sulfur-and-molasses belt.
Vincent Askey
In competitive industries, patents become more valuable. People should pay more attention to patent issues because they can make or break a company.

Michael Caputo
All that has happened is Apple's patent has received final rejection, and that is a non-event. This is really making a mountain out of a molehill.
Roger Cook
You weigh your risks. That is the difficulty with all patent litigation. How much is it going to cost to get out of it?
Frederick Michaud
We filed the lawsuit at the appropriate time. From top to bottom Blockbuster has willfully and deliberately copied our patent methods ...
Steve Swasey
The Patent Office has said these patents are invalid. The patents at this point, if there was the new lawsuit, would not be enforceable.
Henry Bunsow
When we have a new product, we apply for a patent before we produce it.
Stephen Huo
She's been chancellor at Stanford. I mean she's just got the patent resume of somebody that's got some serious skill. She loves football. She's African-American, which would kind of be a big coon ...
Dave Lenihan
If the generic doesn't get out there then the pharmaceutical company (with the patent) obviously benefits.

The patent application was to protect our invention. As you can see . . . the invention is significant.

James Spencer

Joseph Shapiro
All that has happened is Apple's patent has received final rejection, and that is a non-event.
Roger Cook

Gordon Giffin
We get 40 to 50 first-generic submissions a year, and we make quick decisions and approvals on them, often on the same day the patent or exclusivity expires.

Dan Ravicher
This is the patent age of new inventions/ For killing bodies, and saving souls,/ All propagated with the best of intentions.

Brendan Callahan
Even if the patent is bad, it still has value if you can get someone to pay you to go away.
Ronald Riley
The key constraint is that the filing fees ($10,000 and above) are high, deterring small entrepreneurs from applying for a patent. In addition, there is not adequate legal expertise available to such small start-ups.

Richard Snyder
Nobody knows. NTP is saying there's no solution that will work without defying the patent. It's kind of a waiting game.
Alex Kogan
We view this as precedent setting. This is the first time we've been able to get a case on patent infringement heard before a jury.
Linda Ashmore
In the past, if I only licensed my bread-making patent to a miller if he also bought his wheat from my brother then I was liable to lose that patent. That provision was lost in the Competition Act of 2000.
Ross Anderson
The patent office is overwhelmed because they don't have enough staff.
Darlene Slaughter
It will speed this farce up a bit. SCO was saying that because of the patent counterclaims, they needed discovery, more depositions. SCO has no money to pay damages or royalties due to dropping sales figures, so it doesn't matter to IBM to drop them.
Pamela Jones
[Don and Tom] seemed like an odd couple at first. Don was a patent lawyer and Tom was a complete nerd.
David Kaufman
This is not the first such patent to be granted, but it shows that patent examiners are being duped by false science.

Craig Mchugh
The BlackBerry is the perfect example of what's wrong with our patent system, but it is certainly not the only one.

Josh Lerner
A patent commons allows IT industry to add value above the operating system.
Stacey Quandt
Timing can be everything, particularly in the patent area. By waiting, companies often lose their ability to protect their IP.
John Pratt
Aside from the mythology involved, one way to look at the troll situation is that you have 'bad patent trolls,' on the one hand, and 'bad patent thieves,' on the other.
Dale Carlson
We've got a need to acquire products in the near term with all our patent expirations.
Paul Fitzhenry

Michael Krensavage
We've seen with many customers that once we get the patent license in place, many will come back and work with us [under a technology license], and we hope that's the case with AMD.
Sharon Holt
The whole situation with Epson, the patent issue... we have to be careful. We believe our products don't infringe its patents. We have our own patents.

Dan Ravicher
It's clear that Digital has not been able to beat Intel in the marketplace, and now they're trying to do it through a patent suit. It's extremely difficult for Digital to win on something like this.
Eugene Glazer
Hundreds of patent infringement cases are pending against computer software and hardware manufacturers.
Emery Simon
For RIM, this comes at a horrible time with its patent case. Companies are already wondering about e-mail, and now the alternative is crystal clear.
Ellen Daley
The patent case was a whole bunch of noise. Right now, RIM is in danger of relegating itself to becoming a niche e-mail player.
Ellen Dailey
The patent case was a whole bunch of noise. Right now, R.I.M. is in danger of relegating itself to becoming a niche e-mail player.
