Why do I have a feeling this will be another one of those cases that expose just how corrupt and broken our patent system is.
Tangentially related: I moved to old fashioned razor blades a few months ago and have actually hurt myself less since then. Bonus: It cost like a fraction of the price and you don't look like a teenager when shaving :-P
Classic "butthurt giant is mad at new competition and sues them to death" move. Subscribing to DSC today, wanted to do that a long time ago anyway.
