Chief Judge Rader’s Remarks at ED Tex Touch on Litigation Abuse, Trolls, 101..

The text of the speech is here.

I am at a conference on patents, and I keep hearing people talk about the "troll problem" but then I hear a session about the need for greater liquidity in patents. If an owner has to be practicing a patent to enforce it without significant risk, then liquidity efforts are going to fall short.

Sigh.

    I can’t quite understand what is going on at Congress. There’s not a lobby for “frivolous litigation” and that is how the conversation has been captured, so that’s part of the reason why “reform” is moving forward… I hope they listen to Kappos, who said to go slow…

  2. 1

    Liquidity…

    …and alienability.

    (and let’s not mention agency capture, or here, would that be congressional capture?)
