Challenge Against Podcasting Patent Troll Taken to USPTO by EFF

If you’re not at all familiar, the world of podcasting is in potential danger by what is known as “patent trolls”, people trying to obtain licensing fees off of a patent while they themselves do not enact or produce any such services or products from the very patent they’re trying to profit from. 

Luckily, podcasters have banded together, specifically the Electronic Frontier Foundation and are taking it to straight to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon, so we can go back to listen comedians get deep with no worry.
