What is the deal with all the patent law suits? Companies are constantly suing each other. Head to www.Google.com, go to the news area, and then type in patent suit.  Daily you will basically see that people are suing each other left and right.

First problem is that people can get a patent for just about anything today. It’s actually scary what people can file patents on. So beware if you think you have a great idea and you want to try and turn it into a reality, hire a patent lawyer to search this out for you. If you miss something, a lawsuit could ensue later.

Also, people to me are sue happy. If any little thing happens we are suing someone over it. Don’t get me wrong, protecting your idea is a good thing, there are a ton of thieves out there. Nevertheless, people do tend to let the emotions take over and run out, hire the first lawyer they find, and then they are off to sue whomever it is they think stole their idea. 

These are just a couple of reasons that there are so many law suits. I am sure if you thought it through you would find some yourself
