It’s weird how, in America, 20 years is “too long” for a a patent, yet death plus 90 years isn’t long enough for copyright.

"Stands against shenanigans and malarkey". What about tomfoolery, Georg?!

“McKool Smith.” Is an awesome fake patent troll name. Seeing that name on the door placard made me chuckle.

in all seriousness, software patents are a mess

Took me legit 5min to realize that's not the will Ferrell I had in mind 🤣

Georg, you are probably aware of this, but the hairy fat guy in the cheap plastic kiddie pool is a parody of the beautiful woman in the opulent marble tub scene in the movie "The Big Short". She explains some aspect (I forget what) of the 2008 mortgage crisis. Love your channel. Regards from Florida.

The way he pronounces "lawyer" triggers my fight-or-flight insticts.

I thought the T1000 stabbed that guy in the head while he was drinking a paper cup of coffee

I gotta say I love how sincere you always are your dry humor and wit are also wonderful what i want to say is thank you for all the smiles warming my Face.

11:48 "I stand with Will Ferrell against both shenanigans and malarkey" is one of the funniest lines I've heard in a while.

A patent troll once came after my hiptang, But I explained that I had smoked the Hiptang, and it was now lost to time. So we both sang a sad dirge to the lost Hiptang and in doing that he became my brudder. Oh, brudder my brudder.

Sad to see how the son of Will Ferrell and Ron Perlman turned out.

I'm disappointed at how relentlessly people keep calling analogies metaphors in this video.

Ole Georg is looking to patent Hip-Tang. He is doing his due diligence.

For anyone asking "whys he calling him Will Ferrell?", read the D

This channel is at a point now where I could not tell whether this was going to be about how patents are a scam or about a movie. Sadly, it was the latter. I would have really enjoyed the former. Not to say I didnt enjoy this, though.

"A loyer" Lawd give me the strength-

My dad is a chemist so I had to listen about fraudulent patent problems my whole life - I think I'll pass on this one

Sitting here puffing on some of that ol Hip-Tang™ and I couldn't figure out why anchorman never appeared

I can't until someone tries to patent troll GRS on that Hip Tang patent

I've seen two guys in my life who looked, acted, and spoke startlingly like Ned Flanders. One lives in South Texas, and the other is this man.

I have not seen "The Patent Scam". But I work in IT and patents and copyrights have been misapplied to IT software and hardware in ways that negatively affect innovation and the public for years and years. My take from your critique (again, having not seen it ) is that this documentary does not effectively communicate what it intends to prove.

Very interesting thank you Georg your a legend I owe you a beer for all the great content you provide

I had to legitimately check the internet to see if that was in fact Will Ferrell committing to a Borat like character.

He’s New Egg. 🥚

This latest batch of videos has been NEXT LEVEL. Please keep it up.

"This has cost me time that I'll never get back; but, am I the only one in this wretched situation?" How I felt watching the last season of Game of Thrones.

Fantastic, your videos have been great lately

The perfect fruit to pick…..a-diddly.

I just found this channel and I am in love with your content my dude! Gonna watch all your videos today, thanks for your work!!

What exactly do you want from the guy - he's an engineer, not a filmmaker, and he probably couldn't afford to hire one after the legal bills. From the looks of it, for a complete amateur, he didn't do that bad of a job.

The best Will Farrell performance in years! 2 thumbs up/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

This is the most important documentary of our generation.

I remember there being a really good episode of This American Life about fraudulent patent lawsuits. Anyone interested in the subject, maybe listen to that instead?

I can't believe I actually saw this. He's right: it's _The Room_ of documentaries!

Oh no…Not across the street from the courthouse.

Frank Reynolds has been expanding his 'Egg' product line, I see

I've had to watch this twice just to understand what was going on... and now I too can utter the immortal words, "This has cost me time that I'll never get back, but... am I the only one in this wretched situation?"

This was amazing. I would love to see you analyze more documentaries.

Poor Will Ferrell..

Did you know that someone in the early 2000s was able to successfully patent drop down navigation, ya know hovering your mouse over a link and having a sub-menu pop up? They go around trying to get money out of anyone they think is too small to fight back. Meanwhile the patent never should have been issued, and should be easily nullified if anyone with some money did the work. In general, software patents are bull***t.

How is anyone supposed to know that that's NOT Will Ferrell?

The metaphor about the garbage patents is actually pretty good: it isn't really the troll "leaving out the garbage", it's the broad corporate incentive structure to patent anything and everything they can because they have no idea what could be useful to claim ownership of later, but they damn sure well want to be the first one to have it written down that they own it. This leads to such arbitrarily nonspecific things so general as to be understood as "owning the telephone". And anyone can later just buy bulk junk patents from companies that go under. Those are the trolls, attracted by the garbage.

Hi diddley ho neighboroonie, it isn't the Ned Flanders documentary we want it's the Ned Flanders documentary we need.

The bath scene makes me think he trying to make something in the style of The Big Short

Right on brotha, im drunk while viewing this man, keep fighting the good fight

You've been on a roll lately

Man Will Ferrel has gone a weird direction.

Still waiting for the bombshell...

I am really high right now, and I feel I need to watch this documentary and this whole film is an absolutely bat shit crazy time.

The problem is really bad but this does not address them unfortunately, Adobe literally owns ways to digitally modify an image and charges exorbitant amounts so people can use the features they're locking down

This guy is a real life Jordan Peele character.

So Georg, what's your pick for the best of the worst?

I appreciate the "by the silvery moon" instrumental that scores your vid!

I feel like I've seen this movie...and loved it. It must be a series.

i fkn love this channel

Am I the only one who thinks that last metaphor was actually perfectly apt?

Can we get back to movies and nice things rather than our quick march to extinction?

I remember when Adam Carrola got sued for podcasting. It was out of Texas also

X-plane is actually pretty good.

Meet the new egg, same as the old egg.

This is golden. I'm too stupid to understand everything, but it's golden.

Doesn’t look like Will Ferrell to me.

I kinda understood the metaphors. They are still convoluted, but I got them

I honestly get sick of hearing people giving multiple analogies of a topic or concept when I understood it in the first place, and therefore did not need an analogy.

Halfway in Georg. This is your best work yet. Wanna talk about Stalker sometime?

I watched this doc a while back and it made me spitting mad

13:43 I think this is a spoof of the Margot-Robbie-in-a-bubble-bath scene from the Big Short.

"Bath tub segment" I'm sold.

The Patent Scam now most popular on Amazon Prime

The X-Plane guy made a movie? Oh my. I love the simulator, but this sounds like a ver special... treat.

Golden last second quote.

I haven’t even watched yet and I left a comment. Patent pending.

still better than Holmes and Watson

Great idea for the mini series. May i suggest a patent to that effect?.

i ddid a lil laugh very fantastic thanks georgio :-)

When I saw the aircraft door closeup I thought it was going to be a gyroplane and got really excited before it cut to just a boring airplane.

THank goodness you put 'off' at the end of 'pissed' so I didn't think he was pissed, some people can hide it quite well.

"...give greed a bad name..." Whatever you say, Gordon Gekko. 🤣

A chimera of Will Ferrell and Ron Perlman

bwhahahaha. We love you Georg. Also, where is the puppy?

The guy looks like Ron Jaworski's shady half brother.

This video is a treasure

Austin Meyer is a legit dev of a highly esteemed flight simulator series, X-Plane (currently in its 11th release). Reportedly he had many problems with patent trolls through the years. It seems this is another unfortunate example of when a very knowledgeable person's skills at one field (simulator development) do not translate to another (investigative documentary).

This could rival Buck Breaking as a hilariously weird documentary.

Meow indeed Georg

Lawyers, Businesses and Abandoned Buildings sounds like a track that didn't make it to Kraftwerk's album, Computer World.

He's new egg!

Good luck brother.

I like the way Americans rhyme 'lawyer', and 'warrior'. It's completely mad, but so am I, so let's leave it at that.

I have heard of this before. Did you talk about it before or maybe RLM?

The muffin man? The muffin man.

Tommy Wiseau actually made a documentary but i can't find it anywhere online :(

Analogy time : this video is like when you drink a couple of bottles of hiptang and you see faces talking to you in the windows, imagine that.

He's NewEgg! :DDD

Why does he keep saying Will Ferrel... Did I miss something?

Hell I played Xplane a lot as a kid

Talking next to a lava lamp was patented in 2003 by the Fenwick Corporation. They are notorious for striking KZfaq channels. Watch out.

Will Ferrell looks like he ate a few too many bees.

And then...the bomb shell! 💣 🐚
