The corruption runs deeper than you'd ever imagine. A multi-billion dollar industry you've never heard of. This is the world Patent Trolls thrive in: A world created for them by our own U. S. Patent system. You can be sued for clicking on a hyperlink, using your own scanner, or sharing your Wi-Fi! It sounds insane, but the reality is even crazier. Patent Trolls look for obvious ideas, patent them, and then sue anyone they claim is infringing on their idea. People's lives and businesses are being destroyed.. and they have no way out. “The Patent Scam” exposes the underbelly of this system, and the people that commit this practice.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
cookingatmidnight The analysis of the movie provided by "aecolu" is 100% accurate. I can't tell if the movie is grossly misinformed, or intentionally misleading. I laughed out loud when the narrator put the red box around the preamble of the claim and said "this is what they have the right to"...NO. That's actually the part of the claim that holds little to no weight.I completely agree that patent trolls are a huge problem and the system needs to be adjusted to protect against them. However, as someone who works with patents every day, I was very disappointed with all the incorrect information this movie put forward.
Vikky0007 Shows exactly what is wrong with today's patent laws and filing. Patent trolls are real and they can get you anywhere, specially if you are in the growth stage. Ridiculous state of the matter. I agree wit the end abstract remarks. Those changes are needed. Good job.
ImNotFromEarth Usually fake ratings try to push the overall score higher for a crappy movie, but it's opposite this time. The one star reviewer has only reviewed one movie in his entire existence, he seems to have created an account for the sole purpose of giving this movie the lowest rating possible, and spent a lot of time with it, it's almost as if that person has a vested interest in what he's doing.If you've heard of the faulty patent system and wondered what that's all about, this movie spells it out plainly, and doesn't sugar coat anything.
malacite-98560 This I found to be a really good amateur documentary. It highlights the problems of the capitalist system very clearly. Lawyers and the legal system squeezing money from normal businesses trying to create new innovative products that ultimately help society. A must watch for everyone!
