Coastal California, East Texas, Chicago, New York Metro, and Massachusetts are Patent Litigation Hotbeds |
The authors of this study wanted to better understand the behavior of non-practicing entities (NPE), more commonly known as patent trolls. The authors use data from PatentFreedom,- an online organization composed of companies that contribute information about patent ownership and enforcement. They appended the data from PatentFreedom with court records for patent lawsuits. They build a strong case that NPEs are acting as trolls that disincentivize innovation.
Main Takeaways:
- NPEs target successful companies-
- NPEs avoid firms with large legal teams.
- The Number of NPE suits is increasing.
- NPEs stifle innovation.
