Links: EFF Announces Ten Most Wanted Patents
Posted by James Grimmelmann on Wednesday, June 30 @ 18:07:23 EDT Patent
Saddle up your six-guns and put on your posse: Sheriff Schultz is in town, and he's looking to bring a few foul-dealing patent barons to justice. That's right, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has announced the ten most-wanted patents from its Patent Busting Project.

These varmints are peddling bigger snake oil than any travelling medicine show; they're making invalid IP land grabs to take away the homestead from honest grubstake farmers. And now the EFF is deputizing the good and decent folks of these here law-tech parts to go show these IP scofflaws some electronic frontier justice.

Go read through the outrageous claims these patents make. Then sign up to help clean up this town. Law students, prior art searchers, technologists, and patent attorneys are all wanted. Even if you can't be there in person for the roundup, you can also send in a contribution and ride virtual point on one of the great patent drives of all time.
