This is a pretty fantastic article from this month's issue of "Portfolio" about the top 10 patent holders [by patents awarded] in the USPTO. The article is interesting because it really highlights the wackiness of the patent system (most of the patents are displays, chips & flower pot covers) while also celebrating these fellows (no ladies in the top 10) for being pretty smart mofos. The slideshow is also great. I am a sucker for collections like this!
