"There are currently 1,050 patents that Sisvel says must be licensed,
but in due course it expects that number will rise to around 2,000. The
fact that people can claim that there are 2,000 separate patents
involved in a video encoding format is an indication of how far the
patenting madness has gone. The sheer number claimed for a single
technology is an indication of how trivial most of them must be — and
thus by definition undeserving of monopoly protection."
