GAO Report on Patent Litigation Confirms No “Patent Troll” Litigation Problem
"This was previously posted to the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property Blog on October 4, and given that Congress is rushing headlong into enacting legislation to respond to an alleged crisis over “patent trolls,” it bears reposting if only to show that Congress is ignoring its own experts in the Government Accountability Office who officially reported this past August that there’s no basis for this legislative stampede."

- 2Posted by khalling 10 years, 4 months ago in reply to this comment.there is no increase in patent litigation- "troll" activity is poorly defined. Is IBM a troll when they sue over a patent they never implemented? how about universities or Thomas Edison or Tesla among others. there is some abuse in patent litigation- compared to med mal or securities or workmans comp, product liability-it does not comparePermalink|
