[DaBees-Knees]

Taken from an article at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/13/rashid_innovation/

After a comment made that patents are one yardstick for measuring the rate of innovation. "No, that's a horrible metric. The number of patents is a measure of how much you want to spend on lawyers!"

Rick Rashid, Microsoft
