Poll: Did you contact your representative regarding patent reform? (U.S. only)
1 points by cHalgan 5379 days ago
U.S. (software) patent system is broken. Patent trolls have cost innovators half a trillion dollars (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3017815). The system is becoming ridiculous: companies are spending billions of dollars for patent "portfolio" instead of actually spending money on their code business.<p>If you are interested in real patent reform and you are U.S. citizen, did you contact your representative regarding it?
