Patents Not a New Problem
Proving even more how ridiculous patents are, even Henry Ford had trouble.
To summarise, someone else patented the car, but had no intention of ever actually building one, just an idea to collect fees from those who did. It was only after a costly 7 year court battle that it was finally overturned. Is this what patents are for?
