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.

It should be illegal to apply for patents with the express purpose of suing someone else over what is now prior art.

Pretty sure it is. The patent office will generally give you anything you want tho and let the expensive courts settle the fallout.
Kinda wild that they still rejected almost all of the patents tho, like holy shit that’s impressively incompetent on Nintendo’s part.
This. You don’t “negotiate” with the Patent Office. The courts decide whether patent infringement has occurred. You “negotiate” with THEM.
