For 16 billion you can buy an awful amount of lawyers, enough to not care about 'patents' whatsoever.
But...wow. So there is no spoon after all. This revelation changes everything! It could even invalidate one clause of Article 1, Section 8 of the US constitution! It renders the USPTO useless! Not to mention hordes of lawyers. Time to invoke the William Shakespeare Protocol!

And best of all, it vindicates everyone who thought Amazon got a huge gift with that one-click purchase patent nonsense!

Thank you. Truly, thank you for opening my eyes and hopefully the eyes of billions. But man-- we've got a LOT of legalism to unwind now! Time's a-wasting!

And I hate KoolAde.
