Why was the government involved in this case and on the side of patent trolls?
- sectro 11y agoIn general the government is interested in anything that increases the government's power. Stronger patents make them a more powerful tool.
- rhino369 11y agoThe Solicitor General can essentially argue in any SCOTUS case he wants or SCOTUS can invite him to (which is treated as a command, he never declines). While the plaintiff in this case was a troll this isn't a directly troll related case. It applies broadly to all patent holders.
