A couple of misconceptions in this video. Patent infringement is not a crime. A son lawyer appearing in front of his judge father would not be allowed for conflict of interest in most circumstances.
That being said, patent trolling is obviously a problem, and legislation to fix the problem is making its way through Congress.
- knorker 10y ago1) Did he say crime? I don't think he ever did. 2) He never said the son appeared in front of his judge father. I'm almost 100% on that too. So misconceptions in what you misheard, I guess.
- bruceb 10y agoHe did say crime but not in a way that meant criminal justice crime. More of a "I am guilty of the crime of being beautiful"
- addled 10y agoRight. The son doesn't have to appear in front of his father to benefit from his father furthering east Texas's reputation of being patent-troll friendly.

- joshuaheard 10y agoHe said crime. If the son is not appearing in front of the judge, then the judge's rulings don't benefit the son in any way. If you are arguing the judge's ruling is somehow affecting the reputation of the court and attracting cases, the lawyers know it is only that judge, unless you are implying some sort of conspiracy among the federal judges to be patent troll-friendly.
- knorker 10y agoI'm not arguing that. HE appears to be though.
- pascalxus 10y agoI say we all write to our congress members to help make this legislation pass. It may be naive of me to think such emails will have any impact at all, but it's all we can do, right?
