- clamprecht 9y agoCan you even sue a court? Seems too good to be true.
- vivekd 9y agono - the best you can do is get it appealed to a higher court.
- kevindkeogh 9y agoNot in this case. You would need to have standing and a relevant claim to sue any person or firm. I would think it would pretty difficult to show sort of generalized claim about the injustices of the patent system. That is a political question, not a legal question.
- justinclift 9y agoClass action by victims of patent trolls?
- nerdponx 9y agoCould a tech company, as a potential futute patent holder, sue?
- staticautomatic 9y agoYes, there are ways to sue the courts themselves, but not for something like this. The suit would generally be in the form of what's called a Writ of Mandate. It's basically a lawsuit for when you have no other legal recourse for something. For example, if you went to a courthouse and asked for a copy of a statutorily public document but they refused to give it to you, you could file a such a writ. It would force the court to at least give you a hearing before a judge, who you'd ask to compel the court personnel to give you what you asked for.

- dangerlibrary 9y agoOnly because Costco pre-emptively sued the patent holding company in order to choose the venue.
- jhall1468 9y agoTrue, but the point was, Costco doesn't have cause to do anything in East Texas.
