Splunk IP suit against Cribl

Re:Splunk IP suit against Cribl by keyle on Thursday October 06, 2022 @01:49AM (#33104814)

Sounds like a good move... From their about page:

    Splunkers have received over 1,020 patents to date

that tells me everything I need to know.

I am one of those people. There was a bonus for every patent granted. They were telling us that we need to big patent arsenal to fend off against IBM. It turned out that Splunk is IBM now.

Hear hear. I know what you mean, I've lived through the same in a different Fortune 100.

I am against software patents and choose to ignore all pleadings from my employers regarding patent filings. IMO, the bonuses (~$1-2K) are not worth going against my views.

You could have made the same choice, but did not.

Your last sentence is rather dismissive and seems unnecessary to make your point. You're assuming that they share your views on software patents. They might not. Or at that time not realise the issue with software patents in the first place.
