Patent Cases Hurting Small Businesses

smudge writes "An Information Week article states that multiple small businesses with Web presence are being sued by PanIP LLC. The claims in these patents being asserted in the lawsuits refer to 'a computerized system for selecting and ordering a variety of information, goods and services' and 'an automatic data-processing system for processing business and financial transactions between entities from remote sites.'"

No, those bastards!!!

[Oliver Wendell Jones]

DeBrands makes some of the finest chocolates I've ever tasted. They have a store in Indianapolis that sells their chocolates and fresh desserts. You haven't lived until you've tried one of their hot carmel beverages (like hot chocolate, only with carmel instead).

If they go out of business due to these money-hungry bastards, I swear by all that I hold holy, I will hunt down everyone that has anything to do with PanIP and make them sorry.
