Ok but why would he just “give” them? Patents can cost like $20k a pop to prosecute.

Because he's pushing to have the technology covered by his remaining patents to be required by law. Do you think this is OK?

No, but I don’t think he should be forced to give them away for free either. That’s literally an unconstitutional “taking”

How, if he is the one pushing for them?
