It does? Rich people or companies they own might want to produce things that infringe on patents too; not obvious that this has anything to do with "rich people" one way or the other.
Nah, let them file all they want, so long as they pay for them. If they're bogus patents, they're rejected and it's basically just a money transfer to the patent office employees.
Nintendo, you don't just get to file patents after a competitor makes a better product than you, and then try to use those to shut your competitor down.
It never ceases to amaze me how people will see some corporation do something shady that is already bad and still find it in themselves to come up with some crazy conspiracy theory about it anyway, even if the conspiracy isn't any worse than the demonstrable thing that's actually happening.
Or how they fail to mark their sarcasm, I guess, if that's what this is.
