Gotta live the "ideas are cheap" stance when you know how much money some patents can be worth.
Yeah, but there's a substantial number of people arguing that patents are over-issued, over-broad, and protection probably lasts too long - especially for software patents.
See the Apple/Samsung "scroll bounce" litigation.
However, that implies that you have a patent and getting a patent costs between $5000 and $10,000 if you're lucky and it's a simple patent.
