Or threatening enough people to sue them for umpteen fantastillion dollars unless they pay you ransom money^W^W licensing fees.

I guess going by the apple-samsung lawsuit, getting your patent validated in court seems to depend a lot on random chance as well.

A test I expect this will fail. Fairly sure there's some prior art for this.

I assume this will only apply to companies in the US. Unless your name is Kim dotcom
