How can the NSA patent anything? Why would a government agency be granted a limited monopoly on technology?
If I infringe on this patent, and they come after me... how will the monetary damages be calculated to an organization which is federally funded and doesn't produce any marketable product?
Can I use the fact that they produce no product to force a compulsory license for the technology? This strikes me as very very bizzare for a federal agency.

I would like to add that if the NSA developed this, then it was funded with taxpayer money. Therefore, it shouldn't be patented as it used public funds provided by all American citizens.

The 'patent' link goes to
The 'patent' link goes to "System and method for reallocating and/or upgrading and/or selling tickets, other event admittance means, goods and/or services"
Is the link wrong, or is the technique buried in there somewhere?

WTF, I'm still getting "System and method for reallocating and/or upgrading and/or selling tickets, other event admittance means, goods and/or services" (patent #7,415,424) when I paste that link.

NSA "assigned" patent
NSA is the assignee of the patent, not the originator. A government office cannot receive a patent, but an inventor can assign a patent to the US government.
The inventor is listed as Michael H Reifer, and he assigned the patent to the director of the NSA

Patent
it was become issue when nasa was not given answer of questions concerning to the patent, Government body also having rights for patents so Nasa also can patent their technology.
Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
