Of Trolls and Trial Lawyers
It is a sad fact of life that there will always be people who will abuse the system, inevitably to the detriment of others who are playing by the rules. And inevitably these bad actors will continue their behavior if no one puts a stop to it. In fact, they might even build an entire industry around exploiting flaws in the country’s legal or regulatory frameworks. This is exactly what happened in the case of non-practicing entities, also known as “patent trolls.”
