Hard to imagine a more complete victory for cloudflare and the technology industry:
- finding of no infringement
- btw patent claim is invalid
- troll must reimburse legal costs
- troll must dedicate entire patent portfolio to the public

We're fortunate to have actors like this. Just throwing off consumer surplus and showering us with public goods like corporate santa

Long NET, but not for this reason

Patent troll Sable pays up, dedicates all its patents to the public!

We’re pleased to announce that the litigation against Sable has finally concluded on terms that we believe send a strong message to patent trolls everywhere — if you bring meritless patent claims against Cloudflare, we will fight back and we will win.

@baweaver Eat all the noodles. There are so many varieties and they are all endlessly delicious

@mzagaja thanks for sharing! this is so fascinating: government incentivizes an innovation (w/ temporary monopoly) but finds that this leads to a market outcome where the innovation exists (vs a world where it maybe wouldnt exist at all) but with a rent, which limits its distribution. and so now we have to make zero sum tradeoffs about how to allocate the benefits

A strange way to frame a problem that affects an objectively small number of people

@mzagaja the initial release of windows vista also had this problem to an absurd degree, until the devs hardcoded exceptions for many internal windows components (like explorer.exe)

@mzagaja I gave up and also block javascript by default, and whitelist domains individually. A surprising number of news sites spam me with intolerable popups and native ads, *even the ones I subscribe to.*
