no i do believe in patents. but the FACT is that APPLE and Samsung both are buying other Patents specificly for the purpose of Litigation. most of this particular war has very little to do with protecting intellectual property or brand. Apple and Samsung both have been buying OTHER companies patents for the expressed purpose of sueing each other. its not illegal but it is highly unethical mistreatment of the patent system.
