NTP is one of those ar$ehole companies that uses patents to make money buy extorting it from legit companies that have products based on their patent.

I believe that you should show proof that you intend to use an idea before you patent it to stop this crap of patenting an idea so that companies that want to use it have to pay you.

This kind of thing is absurd, and the whole patent system needs reviewing to stop this kind of extortion.

Extortion is basically what this is.
