“I think copyrights, and especially patent disputes, get really
nasty really quickly. Especially on patents, it’s like winner take
all on completely insane grounds – there is no middle ground. You
either win or you lose. That makes it a very nasty thing from a
legal perspective.I have filed at least 3 patents during Transmeta times. They
were about hardware so I am happy about them. It was an interesting
experience. I am not saying they were wonderful patents–I am
saying it was interesting to see the crazy patent language you have
to have and that’s the reason you have to have a patent lawyer
because the language makes no sense. In US it’s technically English
but it’s not really English.
