New US Congressional Bill Introduced Called the SHIELD Act Aims to Stop Patent Trolls

My guess is that if this or some similar bill passes it'll only hurt the little guy trying to get a patent while the big companies like apple will have the money and their own personal legal team to circumvent and find loop holes in the patent bill.

Nope. This bill is exactly the opposite of that. It is intended to protect the little fish from the big sharks. Obviously, it depends on how much "teeth" they put in the bill.

Hmmm. Finally... but now I can't patent rectangles with clear screens and touch interfaces.. apple had to ruin it for everybody!!! Lol

Seriously.. its a step in the right direction.
