"If you were the patent troll, what would you do at this point ?"
If I could get the trial moved to a jurisdiction where I'm friends with a judge, which I recall was part of the strategy, I'd keep trolling. While geohot gets love on a hacker forum like HN, most courts (and people in general) as far as I can tell just assume guilt.
- KerrAvon 4y agoThat’s not how patent litigation works. And a small-time troll may not be able to afford to go to trial.
- bavila 4y agoCourts don't appreciate having their time wasted. It's going to be a lot easier for a court to dismiss a frivolous patent troll than to "assume guilt" and go through the absolutely hellish process of extended litigation. (Source: Worked as a litigator for 7 years.)
- jawns 4y agoPardon my ignorance, but why, then, is East Texas considered a hot-bed for these types of lawsuits? Are the judges there an exception to the rule about not wanting their time wasted?
