#watchtroll
Insane. #watchtroll is naming 100% #swpats (i.e. things that Section 101/Alice would invalidate) in "The Top 10 Patents of 2021: Improved Eye Contact in Video Calls, Targeted Ads Based on Conversation Samples, and Analyzing Toxicity in Social Media Content". #SoftwarePatents are #fakepatents ... stop misleading people
As the year closes #watchtroll is taking more shots and snide remarks at #ptab ("Noteworthy 2021 developments at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) were primarily driven by oversight...") for the 'crime' of abolishing #fakepatents from #uspto and courts
#watchtroll : "EPO Dismisses DABUS Patent Applications, Rules Inventor Must Be Natural Person – On Tuesday, December 21, the European #Patent Office’s (EPO) Legal Board of Appeal announced its decision to dismiss a pair of patent applications listing the artificial intelligence [sic] system #DABUS as the sole inventor"
This past week #watchtroll got less than a handful of comments, so you know the site continues to die. Now they try re-posting articles from 2 and 3 years ago to hide that!
#patentTrolls #extortion and #blackmail euphemised by #watchtroll again as merely "New IP Monetization Models" ("Will Rely Less on Litigation in 2022"). Like the Mafia not burning down your business, only threatening to... for 'protection money'
Dan Shores at #watchtroll is a sociopath; he's boosting the #patent #monopolies that kill millions of people for profit. #covid19 #patents
#watchtroll wants us to think #patent #litigation people "Celebrate Science" (to quote the headline). No, they do not! See http://techrights.org/2021/12/01/epo-vs-science/
Most of the articles in #watchtroll have zero comments. It's going down the drain thankfully... and won't be missed for its #patent extremism http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll
#watchtroll says #microsoft Vidal "Supports Iancu’s 101 Guidance ‘In Principle’". I think we have established it's a pro #swpats Microsoft 'mole' of sorts... http://techrights.org/2021/11/29/microsoft-vidal/ more context: http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Andrei_Iancu
Over at #watchtroll Jonathan Stroud admits that #patentTrolls now target charities as well. But Watchtroll is still boosting and shilling for these trolls. Something about "innovation"...? http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll
his large law/litigation firm now associates with #Watchtroll and promotes the lie that the #EPO still obeys the EPC https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/patent/1139032/could-description-amendments-made-during-prosecution-at-the-european-patent-office-affect-us-litigation see http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll

#watchtroll blowhard #GeneQuinn is again attacking #ptab just because he hates #patent quality and advocates #fakepatents ... I'm omitting the link (today's piece), but see the site's concerning pattern of misinformation and attacks on justice/judges http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll
#watchtroll says " #CAFC Ruling that Biogen’s MS Drug #Patent is Invalid..." More #fakepatents then. #uspto
And wife of #watchtroll blowhard, Renee C. Quinn, conflates #patents with "innovation" in "Rethinking Innovation with Michel, Iancu, and Watts"... yes, #iancu still lobbying for #patent zealots http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Andrei_Iancu
#watchtroll blowhard says "Vidal Confirmation Hearing Should Provide a Hint at What’s Ahead for #Patent Owners". [sic] They're shoehorning an aggressive #patent litigator of #microsoft !! http://techrights.org/2021/11/29/microsoft-vidal/ #microsoftVidal
To me, personally, seeing the #patent maximalists' sites perishing (for example, #watchtroll is barely having impact anymore; founder stepped down) is a sign that we're winning the argument and the battle. We need to carry on fighting. cc @zoobab
#watchtroll has published an article entitled "The U.S. Patent System is Still Worth Saving" and it's based on a lie; the US #patent system harms people who actually invent by granting too many #patents -- mostly #fakepatents -- not by granting (or allowing in courts) too few. That helps #monopolies lawyers and #patentTrolls
#juve #watchtroll and #iam have quit pretending. They're just #webspam or #spamfarm for patent/litigation firms.
