On the one hand it is hard to understand a publication affiliated with MIT equating number of patents to technology strength ... on the other, patent inflation is a lot like publication inflation. The quality of the average scientific paper these days is a lot like the quality of the average patent. So it isnt that strange they have blinders on regarding the issue.
In patents publish or perish is an illusion though ... companies which do well only need to get good patents, and investors dont buy the "look how many patents we produce" when a company is doing poorly anyway. It is just a little circlejerk managers and analysts play with eachother and which anyone with common sense ignores. |

Unless you think in terms of possible future litigation.
 In that case, patent everything in the broadest, most confusing terms possible and hope something sticks.

If you have no intention of winning there are plenty of excuses to drag someone to court. Trivial patents wont get you anything in a court of law either.
