We need major reform in our patent system. Patents should only protect those who are actively using the technology patented and who have made reasonable attempts to inform anyone else they believe is infringing. Every day now you read about someone who sits on a patent until somebody else makes money (through actual effort and risk) and then tries to cash in.
