According to videogame patent lawyer Kirk Sigmon, the USPTO granting Nintendo these latest patents isn’t just a moment of questionable legal theory. It’s an indictment of American patent law.

“Broadly, I don’t disagree with the many online complaints about these Nintendo patents,” said Sigmon, whose opinions do not represent those of his firm and clients. “They have been an embarrassing failure of the US patent system.”

    One of the most popular artists in the world was all over the news last week because their art was destroyed by capitalists. What point where you trying to make?

      You fools are asking to remove all protections for artists… How the fuck do you think that’s going to play out?

      As long as the world still runs on capitalism, free art will ONLY mean destitute artists. The fact you fools cannot suss that out is straight up pathetic.
