    Exactly, patents that is simply describing obvious stuff like “Method for sharing and searching playlists” (it actually exists) should be rejected or get just 3 years max

    Stuff like this took more time/money in filing the patent application than the actual development

      Obligatory I am not a patent lawer, but quick glance at the description, how the heck did that pass the novelty requirement?

      A method for making a playlist available to the public, in which the playlist comprises user-defined descriptor information. The user-defined descriptor information is entered as free form text or prose.
