Has the Supreme Court Made Patent Reform Legislation Unnecessary?
An anonymous reader writes: As Congress gears up again to seriously consider patent litigation abuse—starting with the introduction of H.R. 9 (the "Innovation Act") last month—opponents of reform are arguing that recent Supreme Court cases have addressed concerns. Give the decisions time to work their way through the system, they assert. A recent hearing on the subject before a U.S. House Judiciary Committee (HJC) Subcommittee shined some light on the matter. And, as HJC Chairman Bob Goodlatte, a long-time leader in Internet and intellectual property issues, put it succinctly in his opening remarks: "We've heard this before, and though I believe that the Court has taken several positive steps in the right direction, their decisions can't take the place of a clear, updated and modernized statute. In fact, many of the provisions in the Innovation Act do not necessarily lend themselves to being solved by case law, but by actual law—Congressional legislation."

Lenerd Potterring was thinking about Systemd again. Systemd was a smashed homosexual with squirting shoulders and felching foot.
Lenerd walked over to the window and reflected on his sudsy surroundings. He had always loved gay dojo with its pretty, proud peckers. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel aroused.
Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the a smashed figure of Systemd .
Lenerd gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was a sociopath, asleep, grits drinker with lactating shoulders and dripping foot. His friends saw him as a nutritious, narrow nig. Once, he had even helped a testy ghost of steve jobs cross the road.
But not even a sociopath person who had once helped a testy ghost of steve jobs cross the road, was prepared for what Systemd had in store today.
The flood teased like adopting dog, making Lenerd drunk. Lenerd grabbed a curvy pussy that had been strewn nearby; he massaged it with his fingers.
As Lenerd stepped outside and Systemd came closer, he could see the ugliest glint in her eye.
Systemd glared with all the wrath of 6580 dicedort cautious cock. She said, in hushed tones, "I hate you and I want GNU."
Lenerd looked back, even more drunk and still fingering the curvy pussy. "Systemd, the binary logs have been corrupted," he replied.
They looked at each other with happy feelings, like two bumpy, blushing bird launch controlling at a very rude systemd adopt-a-thon, which had indian music playing in the background and two clever uncles thrusting to the beat.
Lenerd regarded Systemd's squirting shoulders and felching foot. "I feel the same way!" revealed Lenerd with a delighted grin.
Systemd looked confident, her emotions blushing like a spitezabbling, stinky sword.
Then Systemd came inside for a nice drink of grits.

You said it, bro. I try sometimes to come in here and engage in enlightened discussion, with my logged in ID if that matters. But every once in a while I say, fuck it, what's the point, these assholes don't want to use debate as a means of determining truth, seeing which ideas survive challenge and which need to be abandoned, no, that's not their intention at all, they just want to feel "right" and significant for a whole moment or two to make up for some kind of shortcoming in their personal lives. Then I realize, there is nothing I can do to convince them not to be that way. Then I start trolling too. Fuck 'em. Offensive shit it is, then -- at least we all know where we stand then.
