The White House announced a set of executive actions and policy recommendations Tuesday aimed at preventing certain patent-holding firms, known as “patent trolls” to their detractors, from abusing the patent system.
The Obama administration’s actions are intended to target firms that have forced technology companies, financial institutions and others into costly litigation to protect their products. These patent-holding firms amass portfolios of patents and focus on pursuing licensing fees rather than using the patents to build new products.
Good.
This is the proper response to this abuse of the legal system, here and internationally.
TROLLHUNTER!
This is going to put a lot of lawyers out of a job.
I guess you don’t realize that Apple is one of the “patent trolls” they are going to go after.
They don’t say it now, pretending to only going after people who “just hold patents”, as if that makes it any more legitimate.
Denying property rights from one unpopular group is always just a step before denying them more broadly.
You’re an idiot — and an evil person– if you support this.
please remove the tinfoil from your head. however you may need to remove said head from your ass, first.
If I were wrong, you could make an argument, instead of insults. Insulting me just proves that not only am I right, but that you know it!
So, good job!
