Re: Opinions versus facts

Calling a patent stupid is an opinion, obviously. But one key for any defamation to proceed anywhere is whether there are valid reasons for calling it stupid. In the case of software patents (wish are an oxymoron) they are basically a software implementation of a physical process and as such are both stupid and should not be allowed on the grounds that is implementing prior art.
