The Patent Scam Trailers

The corruption runs deeper than you'd ever imagine. A multi-billion dollar industry you've never heard of. This is the world Patent Trolls thrive in: A world created for them by our own U. S. Patent system. You can be sued for clicking on a hyperlink, using your own scanner, or sharing your Wi-Fi! It sounds insane, but the reality is even crazier. Patent Trolls look for obvious ideas, patent them, and then sue anyone they claim is infringing on their idea. People's lives and businesses are being destroyed.. and they have no way out. “The Patent Scam” exposes the underbelly of this system, and the people that commit this practice.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The analysis of the movie provided by "aecolu" is 100% accurate. I can't tell if the movie is grossly misinformed, or intentionally misleading. I laughed out loud when the narrator put the red box around the preamble of the claim and said "this is what they have the right to"...NO. That's actually the part of the claim that holds little to no weight.I completely agree that patent trolls are a huge problem and the system needs to be adjusted to protect against them. However, as someone who works with patents every day, I was very disappointed with all the incorrect information this movie put forward.

This I found to be a really good amateur documentary. It highlights the problems of the capitalist system very clearly. Lawyers and the legal system squeezing money from normal businesses trying to create new innovative products that ultimately help society. A must watch for everyone!

This is an interesting and worthwhile watch. I'd actually give it a 6.5, but rounded up... The show does not state that all patent infringement claims are frivolous. It states that a very large and significant proportion of them are, and that a very significant proportion of them are generated by shell corporations (LLC's typically), from empty offices, and mostly in some small towns in East Texas. It also states that in a significant number of cases brought, the Judge's are relations (fathers) of the two lawyers controlling the lawsuits! These appear to be proved facts. Honestly, the muck that is uncovered here is eye-watering. And dreadful. I feel extremely sorry for these mid-size companies that are being bled dry by the leeches that seek to sue and litigate for everything. Oh, and Peter Wolf. Just wait till you watch his interview. I cannot believe that that individual had the gall to agree to be interviewed and said what he said. I'm shaking my head in disbelief at the content of his interview - listen carefully to him; his patent was eventually quashed but he kept all of the "licensing" cash that he bled out of the photographers before he was eventually found out. The world really is full of scumbags. Watch this well-made amateur film effort to see some of them.

Everyone should watch this. It is such a travesty of justice that ruins small businesses and innocent people's lives purely to line the pockets of unethical lawyers and judges hiding behind fake shell companies in empty offices most all of which are located in East Texas. This impacts every American. Please watch and let's do something about it!
