Perhaps more appropriate would be the scales of justice with a large dollar sign on one side and a drooling lawyer on the other. Just because some fool claims that he also meant to include some future technology in his patent application does not indicate that there is any validity to the claim. Perhaps the best thing to do with this type of patent is for everyone who uses a computer for any purpose whatever to file a class action suit against the person/organization claiming the patent. The resulting legal fees would be so burdensome that there would be no money left for them to use in filing claims against those they feel are infringing on their patents.
