The world of patents is complicated, everyone knows about it. We can often hear that one company is suing the other for violating them. But did you know that the software also has those problems? And probably even more than classical. In the following video, this is a well-explained and proposed solution how to get rid of those problem and push our world of IT forward.
- Have you tried or any of your friends tried to obtain a patent?
- Do you agree with the solution proposed by the film's creator?
- Do you have any other ideas on how to solve the problem of patents in software?

It really depends on which side of the fence you are. If you create or invent something, you would probably would want to take advantage of it as long as possible. On the other hand the complexity of todays patents is too big for small companies to overcome.
I do not entirely agree with the author of the video regarding the pricing system, but I think it's a pretty good idea at first glance, but I don't think it would be very applicable considering how far industry is gone. I think many legal standards would have to be rewritten which is obviously not a very cheap and fast process.
I don't know how this problem can be solved in an easy way. As it was mentioned in the video, not every new patent can be treated equally and that creates an additional obstacle.
No I didn't.
Do you agree with the solution proposed by the film's creator?
I'm agree, but author really din't proposed a solution, I think we need to eliminate software patents that are too high level, like buy now button, but we can patent complicated solutions that can be even more expensive to develop then medicines.
In this way we can push development forward and prevent steals, and also will not charge for "tapping an icon by finger".
