Now, to remove one or two features may not be a disaster. But when you have to remove 50 features, you could do it, but people are likely to say, &ldquo;This program's no good; it's missing all the features I want.&rdquo; So it may not be a solution. And sometimes a patent is so broad that it wipes out an entire field, like the patent on public-key encryption, which in fact put public-key encryption basically off limits for about ten years.
