Did you know? The wright brothers patented the plane, causing the plane industry to come to a screeching halt? This led the United States to develop the ability to patent certain designs. This is why certain companies, such as Apple, today, are patenting specific designs on their MacBook Air (Such as the rubber feet) to crush the opposition. It doesn't just stop with Apple though, many companies try to patent specific parts of designs, whether it be vague or specific just to "troll" other companies into bankruptcy, or worse. And it isn't just companies either. Individuals, such as the one who patented all of the MP3 idea, patented MP3 in parts so that each one would expire over time at different years. The last one, expiring in 2018, allowing another company to patent it, and troll us again.


Patents, aren't always a good thing.
