If going for RICO, why not ethics type complaints with the attorney's bar? I have no idea what type of success one might expect, but clearly baseless threats of criminal charges and what have you is out of line. I would also think "escalator clauses" for filing a response in court is also illegal or at least unethical, and could potentially get the lawyer(s) suspended or reprimanded. Probably the fastest way to kill a patent troll is to take out their legal!
- larrys 13y agoI would say the same thing but remember we are talking about attorneys here and they are good at getting a leg to stand on when their ass is on the line. Not to mention the fact that one strategy is simply to flood the deciding party with so much information at once that the main points get lost and diluted with other issues that don't matter. One of the reasons criminal trials take so long. If you were a defense attorney and had a jury wouldn't you try to string out the trial as long as possible to numb the jury so that the main points against your client were buried with a bunch of less relevant data? (Similar to a kid getting into a dispute with a sibling where the parent gets so frustrated they don't even want to decide the issue they just punished both parties?)
