Is there a path toward criminal lawsuits against patent trolls?
- omginternets 4y agoI believe a lawsuit is always a civil case. Do you mean criminal charges? I think the bar is pretty high for that (like, fraud or conspiracy).
- matheusmoreira 4y agoFiling an invalid intellectual property claim should be considered fraud. Especially invalid patents with existing prior art and automated DMCA claims. Granting invalid patents should also be fraud. If a patent is granted despite the existence of prior art, whoever granted it has clearly caused damage to society.
