And I hope the many companies that caved to this patent troll and paid it millions for claiming it owned the shopping cart now go after it to get all those millions back. With interest.
- ceejayoz 13y agoMy understanding is that revenues get siphoned very quickly out of the shell company to avoid precisely that.
- inetsee 13y agoI think that one of the fundamental problems with the current patent system is that NPEs are able to use shell companies to shield themselves from the financial consequences of their bad acts. I hope one of the "finer points of patent law" that the Supreme Court will be looking at is just this issue.
