If you think you have a chance at winning a case about patents then not acting would be foolish.

edit: My point is that this IS a conversation about software patents and competition and not whether or not you are I think this is reasonable. If the system is broken and you, as a multi-billion company, don't take that competitive advantage someone else will.

Can we have a little break where people can make good products and compete fairly? Let's not be so eager to jump into the pit with another brutal monopoly.

edit: "If I don't take advantage, someone else will" is also known as mutually assured destruction. I liked the patent cold war better than what we're seeing now. Companies should shelve the nukes and go back to vying for customers with merits, not missiles.
