Head of USPTO says explosion of patent litigation is "natural and reasonable"

    Indeed, Kappos suggested that the volume of patent litigation in the
    smartphone industry was a sign that the patent system was working as
    intended. "The explosion of litigation we are seeing is a reflection
    of how the patent system wires us for innovation," Kappos said. "It's
    natural and reasonable that innovators would seek to protect their
    breakthroughs using the patent system."

Earth calling head of USPTO David Kappos -- NO, the explosion of
patent litigation is NOT natural and reasonable!
