I'd suggest that we should all boycott companies like Intellectual Ventures for suing Motorola. But wait IV doesn't actually make or sell anything at all. It's entire business model is based on buying up huge quantities of patents (some 30,000 at last count) and then pursuing companies that actually make stuff and employ people for royalty payments. This wouldn't be a problem if the parents were legitimate, but as we know most software patents are so vague and broad as to be meaningless. Even the recent patent reform bill is unlikely to make any difference.
Maybe we should just boycott Nathan Myrvold's oversized and overpriced cook book
