But I'm not talking about Web, nor music, nor video, nor games. Why are all of the comments coming from such a small world? What if you'd spent half your life developing aicraft communication just for a skript kiddie to steal it via his 1337 python skillz in half an hour? Noone would care that you had filed for a patent, i.e. https://www.google.cz/patents/US8909158, because the said kiddie works for GlobaComm that is going to use it internally to develop multitude of their own patents, and products, and not need you anyway - they have everything they needed.
