Week 5 EOC: Patent Trolls


I think that patent trolls are good because why should someone have their product in the store when its old and its misleading to their consumers. It makes the brand look un-loyal. So I don’t think that patent trolls are bad people. Because they are doing it for the consumers. "It absolutely is a startling development in the interpretation of that provision," says Michael C. Smith,a defense lawyer from Marshall, Texas” The Wall Street Journal.  I one hundred percent agree with that statement that he made. Because it really is how do you go so long before you have someone finally notice it.  I don’t see why a lot of companies wait til the last minute to finally decide to get it handled because in the end they always end up paying for it. So I think that the patent trolls are right because then they won’t have to charge you for having expired patents on your products. "These cases have forced companies to spend time,money and resources investigating claims where there really isn't any injury to anybody," says Chicago lawyer Jason C. White In the wall Street Journal context. When really in the end it is causing them more money because they don’t already have people on top of it. 'It chills competition, it
misleads the public and takes away from the credit patent holders deserve.' Rubbish. Competitors will look up the patents in question and the public couldn't care less.Karl Kleimenhagen which she stated to the wall street journal. I think that is contradicts what they are saying. Because yes it does misleads the public, but then they are saying how the public can care less. When I think that we has a public would care a lot of a hell more. Since myself as a consumer that shops a lot cares about little things that goes on. So I think that patent trolls are trying to help rather then not help the public out.
