An anonymous reader writes "It's all or nothing over at IBM as the
company goes for the gold and files the patent troll patent. Forget the
Hyperlink patent or the POS shutdown patent, IBM wants the patent patent.
Its idea is centered around an approach to manage patents from inventor
training to filing and protection strategies, including competitive
monitoring. At least in theory, IBM could get approval to [0]own the idea
how to manage patents and make a business out of IP. The next time you
file a patent, you may want to contact them as you may need a license to
file for filing."
