The lawsuits are about patents Google does *not* own.
It's not like copyright, where the thing belongs to whoever made it. Patents allow somebody you've never heard of to come out of the woodwork and claim ownership of your whole idea.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @Nine@chitter.xyz @ifixcoinops@retro.social :haggard: we need to abolish patents, they don't ever help the actual creators of shit nowadays (even when they do, it's not worth it in their current form)
