The Good lawsuit

Sometimes I rant about how much I hate Airwatch, they hire kids that are 21 or 22 years old, they under pay their employees, they put features in the product just to check something off for the Gartner report. ( I still feel that way sometimes)  However, this is a really weak lawsuit.  I dislike when technology companies attempt to patten an idea.  That is basically what Good is trying to do here. 

Nowhere in any of Airwatche’s code will you find anything, that even remotely resembles Good code.  Good is suing over the belief that Airwatch (and Mobile Iron for that matter) stole the idea from them (and did it better then they did).  This is such a ridiculous concept in technology and all it does is hurt innovation.  I don’t care if Good thought up this MDM game 10 years ago, Androids and iPhones didn’t even exist back then. There is no argument for attempting to say that your patten, that applied to some old WinMO devices and Symbian devices, is valid today in the technology diverse systems that we are working in.  Just think about this for a second, if this nonsensical patten crap existed 100 years ago, people would of been afraid to invent anything.
