" couldn't you spend $9 billion on lobbying to end this whole disaster of a patent system forever?"
No.
It wouldn't even help.
Can folks please get over the idea that just throwing X dollars into lobbying somehow will magically get them what they want from congress.
Especially not when you have other tech giants on the other side.
Are there really tech giants that are totally ok with our current patent system? I was under the impression that no company was happy, just some (e.g. Intellectual Ventures backers) are making due with what they can.
