Nothing against patents per se, but patent abusers should have a chance to see themselves in the mirror and find out whether they like what they see. That mirror is wikipedia. IBM's entry has it that "IBM holds more patents than any other U.S. based technology company". I think it's only fair to point out how they do it: by stamping out garbage such as the "paper or plastic" patent (please check this link, it's worth it), the "but I only had soup" patent, the offshoring patent, the "who is going to pee next" patent, or the "Terry is a boy, Jeena is a girl" patent. I started my little crusade after Microsoft's 2008 breakthrough concerning page-up and page-down keys."
