Re:There's lots of prior art (Score 3)

Yep. If you go through the 18 claims, each is nothing but a description of what had been state of the art for years before the filing date.

You can't go after the companies that do this stuff directly; patents are issued to individuals, not companies. When James M. Janky signed that application, he was formally signing an affidavit that he had exercised diligence in confirming that each claim is new and original to him.

That's perjury I see in those claims.

If a company's lawyers keep landing its engineers in jail, the company won't survive long.

Will it happen? Naw, the lawyers get too much fun and profit in looting new industries.
