So patents are now like objects of value you acquire in a video game.
You acquire them to use as aids in patent combat.

Well, you gotta pay real money for 'em.

Nothing new here. Why else would companies accumulate kabillions
of patents if it weren't to go to war? Usually the diplomats
straighten things out before the shooting starts though.

Even IBM getting a little weary, apparently.

3,621 patents doesn't look too much like a change in religion.

"With companies and governments focused on innovation to create
economic growth, the number of patent applications from individuals and
companies of all sizes is skyrocketing. According to the U.S. Small
Business Administration, small companies earn nearly 15 times the
number of patents per employee as large enterprises."
Take it from a veteran of small companies: we can sense fear.

Now you're talking about a whole different kettle-o-fish. You seem
to agree that patents are arrows in the quiver or shields (actually
they're both).

I do agree.
I think of IBM as the grand master of monopolizing intellectual
property. As with other competitive games Big Blue invented, another
of the monsters IBM created is now turning on it in the ruthless logic
of a free market, and IBM understandably wants to change the rules.
Not necessarily a bad thing. Just observing.

I see this part differently. IBM is the king of the defensive
patent. One cannot do business if a school of barracuda are
swimming at your ankles. I'll not comment on the rest (I don't
agree with your observation).
