comment Possible US patent infringement and German company
@kinkfisher: I totally get your point and you are absolutely right. There is imho one difference however: In EU you can only patent and sue against a hrdware / software bundle (say if we sell a NAS running our software). In the US it is easily possible to sue against software alone (that involves hardware at some point). But you are right that another big difference is the litigation environment...

comment Possible US patent infringement and German company
@kinkfisher The main difference is that the patent is about hardware and software. Software per se is not patentable. But the patent you described is really scary, too. And really basic. Does not make me feel that the patent system in Ger is working either... Thanks!

Hi Ron, thanks for all those great references! It seems to be really obvious that there is some 100% identical prior art out there... Awesome...

Thanks Ron. The US patent system really seems to have parts that can kill small startups with ease for no good.

Hi Ron. Can you explain that a bit further? What does "continuation" and "abandoned" in that context mean? Thanks!
