I am surprised this hasn't gotten more attention. I feel like HN used to love nothing more than complaining about patent trolls. Anyway, this article suggestions an action through regulation.gov which, based on the content of the page, seemed worth doing to me.
yodon•1h ago
Fast and easy to take action on that page.

Ah, more IP sclerosis. Great.
rdsubhas•1h ago
Thank you EFF.
EarlKing•27m ago
You can thank them properly by submitting a comment on this matter and add your voice to the chorus so the proposed ruling gets shoved right back into the orifice it was pulled from.

Who wants this? Is it just patent troll regulatory capture?

The deadline for comments was November 17.
iamnothere•21m ago
It’s December 2 as explained in the article and the page on regulations.gov. Where do you see Nov 17?
DiabloD3•7m ago
I submitted a comment on Regulation.gov, and if any of you actually give a shit about tech, I suggest you do it too.
