The Patent Scam (2017)
Misses Several points
I have a US patent and am somewhat familiar with the patent troll business. I did learn a few things though.The concentration of cases is East TX plus father son/judge to law firm are humiliating to most lawyers, I believe. What can be done? The problem is the trial lawyers and politicians that block them. These cases are far from the fair norm of suing someone that has wronged you. The next is a landmark patent "Alice" was granted in the last several years that makes if much more difficult for business methods patents (several defendants in the show had patents in that category.)
Another remedy is to invalidate the patent the troll owns. According to the doc that should not be hard. Also, you have to go through the Patent System courts so you don't face the dishonest judges he mentions. According to the doc thr trolls are not likely to spend hard money defending them selves when they can just go to the next mullet.
