Among the four disputed patents is one concerning improvements that reduces the number of steps – and thereby overall delay – when transmitting an uplink package; a Wireless Wake-On-LAN Power Management technique; an invention that allows a user to initiate a diagonal scroll at any location by using two fingers; and a hinge block that enables a laptop to convert to a tablet.

Welp, I guess Lenovo goes on my black list too then.

You would think Asus stole some super duper inventions from Lenovo. Those are some bullshit patents, the kind that was probably filed for shit and giggles by bored employees.

If their shit quality didn't do it before, yes this will absolutely do it

This is why I am against patents in their entirety

They allow anyone to gatekeep inventions that are supposed to be for the benefit of humanity so they can fuel their greed and capitalistic ego

I am in favour of abolishing patents entirely and replacing it with a system that recognises the pperson who invented the intention while allowing people to use them openly
