Should we consider this a ray of hope or an exception? Also, as per the article, the case concluded last week. I am surprised that other tech media did not cover this given the buzz around patent trolls these days.
- JamesBlair 15y agoSeems to be neither: Indeed, the written description of the patents in question expressly refuted the claim construction of the patentee-plaintiff. As a result, the district court properly found that EonNet pursued objectively baseless infringement claims. If this set a precedent it wouldn't be against vague patents, or against suing implementations of the obvious, etc.
- chc 15y agoIt sounds potentially about as true of Lodsys' claims as this patent troll's.
- Pointsly 15y agoNah - this is a ray of hope! Like the old days when they would take Pirates and hang them at the ports 'Pirates beware'! Hopefully it: 1) Brings light to the situation 2) Discourages this behavior from others in the future I guess we shall see :)
