    Those are dumb fucking patents. I hope Google fights this to the end and gets them invalidated.

    Those patents are comically moronic. I normally wouldn’t root for Google, but I hope they get them overturned.

      I’m with you. I really hope google goes out of business some day (doubt it), but not like this.

    Fuck patent trolls. Patents should only be public domain after a few years and you have to have a working prototype to prove you can even do it.

      Exactly. I’m no fan of Google, but I think patents in general should only last as long as needed to recoup the initial investment.

      The same should go for copyright as well.

    really dumb patent, Pretty sure DLNA/UPNP media rendering with remote controller and server devices were well established when this “touchstream” mob claim to have patented casting from one device to another.

      Yeah, I’ve been using DLNA for years, and it has been around for much longer. Looks like it has been around for 20-ish years now.

        Probably filled suite in 2017 and got delayed by Google for years. Idk watching Google rip everything off has made me more of a supporter for patents.
