Patent infringement lawsuits.

An unknown company SP Technologies is suing Apple and iPhone claiming to own the patent for the touchscreen keyboard. If they win, the already inferior iPhone interface will be imissing an ikeyboard.

Another noname Aloft is suing both Adobe and MS over patents for Network Browser Graphical User Interface for Managing Web Content.

Sharp sues Samsung for LCD patent infringement.

and here's a good one
Yesterday, Alcatel-Lucent's 1.5billion dollar suit against MS was thrown out. Had the verdict been in favor of Alcatel-Lucent, it wouldn't be long before they decide to sue every other product in the market using the MP3 codec.

Open-source forever! Get rid of all the patents. But then, people wouldn't make profit would they? And there would be no incentive to innovate.

Patents do make life harder for inventors but it's not nice to steal someone else's idea and make money off it.
