Think of it from the position of the Lawyers:
*shrug* We still get paid
up front, we have nothing to loose fighting it - and if we manage to pull off a
win, our agreement entitles us to a portion of the winnings!
That perfectly
works from the perspective of the Patent Lawyers who want Math to be
patentable.
They get paid for filing for the patent - whether or not the
patent is granted.
If the patent is granted, they get paid for their
licensing activities.
If someone doesn't want to license, they get paid
for initiating and running with a Lawsuit. This is their biggest
payoff.
From the narrow view of profit:
The Lawyers have nothing to
loose!
Given their biggest payoff is having a patent Lawsuit to run with -
how much more bias can you possibly put into the picture from the perspective of
the Lawyer with regards wanting the Lawsuit?
When was the last time a
Lawyer was sanctioned because they fought a patent all the way to the Supreme's
that the Supreme's decided was just math and therefore not a valid
patent?
Sadly - there's every incentive for the Patent Lawyers to:
A:
push bad patents
B: push patent litigation
and - apparently -
absolutely no disincentive for doing so.

He was not so crazy. He was a Luddite standing against
mechanization, loss of jobs, etc. He was striking at the
symbol of such mechanization.
Later generations had assaults on Looms, Steam, Rail,
Nuclear Plants, etc.
The tone of the story paints as a nut case, but he had
a following (of one in the story), but then again, the
writer had his own political agenda.
