SimpleAir does not appear to have any actual products available for sale, as the company is self-described as “an inventor-owned technology licensing company.” It said it has “interests and intellectual property in the wireless content delivery, mobile application, and push notification market spaces.”
I don’t mind a company protecting its intellectual property, but I hate patent trolls.
Isn’t the obvious “solution” to the patent troll problem a “use it or lose it” system like trademarks? If I’m currently selling or developing a product based on that patent I get to defend it. If I haven’t done so in a year (or 2) then it expires into the public domain…
I’m going to patent that idea and sue you for licensing fees. Cheers.
