> Congress Created IPR to Protect the Public—Not Just Patent Owners
For this administration, this is a problem to be solved. Big business are the masters now and we need to make it easier for them to step on small business by any means.
- herniatedeel 2y agoBig business isn't really monolithic when it comes to patents. Some large tech companies love patents (MSFT, e.g.), while others (Google, e.g.) seem to abhor them. Also, the troll problem is a problem for big business, not a benefit to big business.
- zerkten 2y agoAre tech companies really the ones lobbying hardest for policy changes? I suspect other industries are the ones pushing harder with fallout for tech.

- antasvara 2y agoPatent trolls benefit from it being expensive and time-consuming to challenge patents (and defend yourself from infringement claims) These regulations are actually beneficial to big business. It makes it significantly easier to defend your own patents and sue anybody that infringes on them. I imagine that these benefits are much bigger than the downside of dealing with patent trolls.
