Law and Order Remember when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, and proclaimed, to much applause, that they patented the hell out of it? Well, apparently Apple likes to boast about its own patents, but when it comes to dealing with other's they're not so willing. That is, if you believe Nokia: the largest phone manufacturer in the world has sued Apple for patent infringement.

Has there ever been any version of any patent system that didn't benefit the already wealthy? I think the problem with patents is they seem like a good idea in the abstract. After centuries of trying that system out, when do we get to admit patents don't benefit individual innovators?
