America’s patent problem – POLITICO.com Print View:
Interesting Politico article by Leahy & Lee related to legislation to tame some of the really bad actors in the patent pool.
The didn’t mention patent trolls by name, but the idea of building a bridge over the pond certainly implies that it will make it harder for trolls to reach up and pick off stray pieces of the economy.
The article talks about the problem of patent holders skipping over the (?infringing?) manufacturer and going straight to end users and consumers.
The two Senators are promoting legislation that would help curb this intrusion into the mainstream economy.
Looks pretty good on the face of it?
What do you all think?
