Patent madness

When I was young, I assumed you only patented things you actually invented. The truth is the practice of patenting things that might be invented by someone else some day somewhere, is what's really happening. There is no way, as long as this madness continues, that this is not going to destroy start-up companies, stifle innovation and suffocate healthy competition.
