        Maybe instead of paying nominal treasure hunt finds to amateur patent sleuths on the backend, the USPTO should put a little more into research on the front end.

        Good idea! Once you are at it is almost the same cost and can greatly strengthten your bargaining position, isn't it?

        Truly a public service. Any data available on % of YC companies with attempts on them by trolls over the years?

        Law is another area stuck in the 1980s. Ripe for disruption. Good to see there’s a new generation of businesses that doesn’t put up with the old rules of the game.

        @zatlyn I hope someone at some point emailed Blackbird the line "Cloudflare does not negotiate with (intellectual) terrorists."

        The USPTO needs to be completely overhauled. The patent system is abysmal. Its abuses are plentiful.
