I find that some companies out there don't necessarily want to patent something because they're looking for someone to sue. They generally get patents on software they create simply because they're worried their rival company (or even some Joe off the street) will pick up the patent and sue them.
As long as a company uses a patent as a sheild, and not as a sword, I'm okay with that.
