"OK, kids, time to stop squabbling in the sandbox and go home."
I could say the same for our judicial system up until now. Slam them all day if you'd like (referring to the judge), but all the patent troll rulings up to this point has precipitated this state of affairs.
- yesyes 14y agoYes. All lot of judges are complicit in patent trolling. They are not like Posner. The Eastern District of Texas is one example. Patent trolls have to shop around for venues because not all judges are going to welcome these type of suits. You could say Posner might not be well versed in patent law, but to see what these companies are doing does not require such knowledge. These are needless lawsuits that are used as a means of (i.e. a substitute for) negotiation. This comes from the lack the maturity to negotiate like professionals. And the lack of professionalism to use the patent system as a means of protecting a developing or existing business and not as a means extortion^W"capital allocation".
