I am very sure I am not paying for that data, and no-one else is.

The patent is absolutely trivial and would be thrown out in 5 minutes on the first objection. It does not even specify an implementation. Yes, patent language makes it sound important, but basically your "invention" can be summarized in one sentence. That's not an invention.

It's all bullshit. The company website now reads "50 patents on this!". It's a single patent, and yes, in the EU every copy of a patent is registered for each country and therefore you get 50 patent numbers.

Sorry to hurt your feelings, but as you are still insisting to be an inventor. You are not. You may be a great marketer if someone really paid you for this, but that's all.

(I also have "50" patents. But I would not brag about it, and my invention at least consists of a complex idea and 15 pages describing the implementation.)

And finally: The idea is illegal in the EU, where an IP is regarded as personal data, and you would need a written approval by every single user. And I have seen GDPR cookie popups, but never a sanjay popup.

Please just stop trying to impress tech people with a trivial sales person idea. You are abusing the patent system as a troll, and exactly this makes everyone in the industry hate it.
