Techdirt Podcast Episode 63: Hacking The Patent System

We all know the patent system is riddled with problems, and badly in need of reform. But reform comes slowly - really, really slowly. So some tech companies have been doing what they do best: innovate. They are finding ways to get around the biggest problems of the patent system without waiting on go-nowhere legislative reform efforts.
