Large companies can troll/abuse their patents against others, too.
I mean just look at the sum they're asking for. $2 billion? Based on what is that value determined? Tesla hasn't even officially launched its trucks yet, nor has Nikola. Due to the ridiculousness of the lawsuit alone I consider this "trolling". Also there is plenty of prior art. That's also one of the main reasons why car companies don't sue each other - it would be very stupid on their part to do so.
- manicdee 9y agoFrom my reading the supposed damages are Tesla getting thousands of preorders, with each preorder for a Tesla being exactly one lost sale for Nikola purely because the buyers want a truck with a particular windscreen design.
