In our latest article, "Perspectives on Patent Trolls and Efficient Infringement | IPWatchdog Unleashed", Author Gene Quinn writes: There is absolutely no doubt that at least some bad-acting patent owners continue to engage in a systematic game of extortion that leverages judicial inefficiencies and the often-outrageous costs of fighting and winning even when there is absolutely no merit to the patent infringement allegations. And these patent owners who do engage in this type of bad action do the industry a tremendous disservice, because these nefarious actors behave so egregiously that it causes a stain on the entire industry, and sadly it allows for all patent owners to be swept up together. That means that those patent owners with a real grievance—and there are many—get unfairly labeled as patent trolls and treated as if they are engaging in the same low-rent bad action as the truly nefarious actors.
