    How did we get to the point where we have to pay to perform mathematical operations?

    in 2012 a new patent law was passed that allowed software (and math) patents, before that it was still ambiguous if they were legal but after 2012 things went crazy

    it’s rather old but patent absurdity is still a valuable documentary
