    "PATENTS: If people had understood how patents would be granted when most
    of today's ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry
    would be at a complete standstill today. I feel certain that some large
    company will patent some obvious thing related to interface, object orientation,
    algorithm, application extension or other crucial technique. If we assume this
    company has no need of any of our patents then the have a 17-year right to take
    as much of our profits as they want. The solution to this is patent exchanges
    with large companies and patenting as much as we can.
    Amazingly we havn't
    done any patent exchanges tha I am aware of. Amazingly we havn't found a
    way to use our licensing position to avoid having our own customers cause
    patent problems for us. I know these aren't simply problems but they deserve
    more effort by both Legal and other groups. For example we need to do a
    patent exchange with HP as part of our new relationship. In many application
    categories straighforward thinking ahead allows you to come up with
    patentable ideas. A recent paper from the League for Programming Freedom
    (available from the Legal department) explains some problems with the
    way patents are applied to software."
