Stack Exchange Links Up With USTPO For Community Patent Project AskPatents.com For Prior Art

AskPatentsLogoThe patent dramas of the last couple of years have included fights between the very biggest tech titans -- Oracle v. Google; Samsung v. Apple; etc. -- those picking on the little guys -- remember patent troll Lodsys suing all those iOS developers? -- and everything in between (here's one just from today), with a lot of hand-writing over how destructive the whole patent industry is.Now Stack Exchange, which runs a bunch of developer-focused sites, is getting into the game: today it announced the launch of AskPatents.com, a new site it hopes will be the basis of a community effort to help fight down some of the more bogus patent applications being made today.
