Ask HN: Has a patent you were named on ever been used by patent trolls?
If so, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts at the time of the application, during the litigation, and any general insights you've learned since.
- unreal37 14y agoThat has to be such a very rare thing. Out of millions of patents, only a few dozen are being used by patent trolls. And most of those were "invented" by the person/company doing the suing. I am listed on a patent through a former employer, and I am waiting for the day when some company implements this technology that is patented. Will be curious if that employer decides to sue and will I be entitled to any money from that?
