How strong is FB’s newsfeed patent in terms of other social networks?…

I was “asked to answer” so I’m doing that despite my disclaimer that I’m (a) not a patent attorney (b) don’t play one on TV (c) follow this kind of thing closely enough to know that in an individual case, it’s awfully hard to guess what will happ…

Did you buy into VRINGO based on their patents?
Several years ago I looked into creating a similar mobile app service. Upon researching prior art, I came a cross VRINGO (the only way I think anyone would have discovered they were in business at the time). Their relevant patents and owner/investor profiles dissuaded me from the mobile app project I had in mind. Anyway, I’m sure VRINGO’s patents played a big role in your investment decision.
I hope and believe you will do very well with making a modified VRINGO a success — there’s a lot of untapped opportunity there for a simpler service.

Mark don’t you also own companies that have patents? I personally want to see Facbook fail because I have had too many fail loves from Facebook

I hope they don’t. I would rather see Google+ take down Facebook and leave them looking like MySpace. Not as enjoyable as observing a patent law fiasco… a bit more like watching a Python devour an Antelope.

Great…. now I’m hungry.

[...] Facebook violates ten of its patents. And as Mark Cuban points out, it may have a case that indeed, Facebook’s ability to create a personalized news feed is derivative of Yahoo’s My.Yahoo….. He only makes this case, however, to point out how ludicrous software patents are. Yahoo is [...]

I saw you on Shark Tank and was shocked at your disdain for IP. You mentioned “….however many patents that have been issued where the patent was put to legitimate use to protect a company from a large predator “. What you don’t seem to realize is that the large predator’s strategy is to ‘crush’ the little guy with attorney/court fees – regardless of their innovation. The small inventor does not have the deep pockets to defend against the 800 lb gorilla, hence, the troll industry was developed…I’m not a troll but I am a small inventor that needs to protect my IP…
