        @paulg @gutelius Why is @IBM a patent troll in this case? Are you saying they don't have a claim? Curious about what constitutes trolling.

        @RitaJKing @gutelius @IBM They are a non-practicing entity and the patent is palpably bogus.

        @PittLabs @paulg @IBM how is that novel & non-obvious enough to warrant a patent approval?

        @RitaJKing @paulg @IBM IMHO, the Patent Office is either incapable or unwilling to accurately determine "non-obvious" with software

        @paulg I’m no fan of software patents, but calling IBM a patent troll is a pretty big stretch given that they invent the stuff they patent.

        @idbjorh @paulg I read the first patent. It's basically a patent on web page functionaliy. Shame on IBM for asserting it.

        @paulg IBM owns the patent, why should they not extract their pound of flesh? Good time to review the system that allows it.

        @paulg Meh, this isn't an IBM problem. They have the patents. This is a patent reform problem.

        @paulg just now, I learnt that the "single-sign on process in a federated computer environment" is patented from IBM.
