I don't really get it, anyone who is a neutral party in any kind of legal matter and takes money from an involved party for a specific action is guilty of criminal conspiracy, no? I mean can I citizen arrest people for other thefts in the US and offer to split them?
- semiquaver 3y agoOffering to settle is usually fine for involved parties (as far as I understand, I’m not a lawyer). The “problem” (from the USPTO’s perspective) is that congress set up this process so any outside party can bring an IPR case, making it potentially profitable to pose as a public interest group when you might actually have intended all along to settle without invalidating the patent.
- freejazz 3y agoYeah but people are missing the point that congress did that in order to make it trivially easy to attack small-time patent owners.
