I think that many people are over-reacting on this thread. When I saw Dean present these patents on Friday at the Championship, I got this impression:
Dean (and FIRST) is trying to communicate and bring attention to GP and Coopertition.
Dean (and FIRST) is trying to communicate and bring attention to the whole patent and trademark process, and therefore encouraging the FIRST community to do the same.
I did not get any impression that FIRST would litigate other entities who were using GP and Coopertition. As a matter of fact, Dean actually suggested that FIRST litigate if other entities did not use these two ideas.
More people should have gone to the opening ceremonies in Atlanta, and could have experienced how this was presented.
