This is an awesome story. $3+m fr two inventions in 18 months with presumably only pending patents and a prototype. Q: Equiv $ possible today without good (pre-)sales of product, big user base/network effect, or issued patents that have strong infringement and validity proof?https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1258146212450111491 …

I think it would be rare/unlikely now in the 18 month timeframe for that much $ (today’s dollars) based _only_ on sale of a _patent pending_ idea to a big co. Sadly I think now more likely big co would infrg and force the fight if patent ever issues. Would love to be wrong.
His success could’ve been a product of japanese market mania. And he certainly has the sale skills. it seems like big companies know much better today how to manage allegations of patent infringement through better lit. Management and blowing up patents

“manage allegations of patent infringement” = lobbying & efficient infringement | invention didn’t change, the law was changed by the infringers

How so? Did the aia make it easier to infringe?
