    Wait, some guys thought there was going to be repeat business selling an undersea cable cutting device and they went to the trouble of patenting it?

    How many people are in the business of maliciously cutting these cables indiscriminately, it feels like this device is more of a build it and sell on the shady/black market kind of deal.

        China produces 4 times the patents the US does. We should have burned the patent industry to the ground not force other countries to use them. We created a monster.
