Re the troll suit sanctions noted in the prior blog, the above report “Malathi Nayak: Fortress Gets U.S. Backing in Apple Patent ‘Puppeteering’ Suit (Source: Bloomberg Law)” says the U.S. Government has joined in the unusual Antitrust lawsuit against Fortress Investment [asserted by Apple to be group connected to Uniloc USA and Luxembourg] filed earlier by Apple and Intel. This is asserted to be a big new patent troll scheme involving a web of many smaller patent trolls filing large numbers of patent suits heavily bankrolled and controlled by Fortress Investment and costing billions of dollars. [Unless the suit gets dismissed early on, its discovery may be interesting.]
