infact the weakest is FOSS..where any software's code is open and open ideas,open standards also,a patent troll company can handpick ideas and file a patent.then sue the original developer(s).
arre mere bhai do u know the method of how patents are given. once u file an application for a patent u are not immidiately given a patent its not like creating an email account, there is a huge time limit wherein some 1 else can refute the claims and even the patent giving body researches and dude please i posted this twice and im posting it again

u say:

many FOSS developers and small companies innovates something later to know that there is a patent killing all this invention.

but what u dont understand:

if they come to know later that there is already a patent in that name then how come it is innovation they have done something that is already existing

please first understand how patents are given and acquired u like giving away so many links and read so much take some time out and read about how a patent is filed and how one gets a patent
