Basically, this guy worked for a law firm that defended companies against patent lawsuits at the same time he was personally filing and licensing patents to be used against those same companies

Since they were clients of his employer, he could easily obtain proprietary information about those clients and use it against them, violating the attorney-client trust-relationship.

Patent barratry at its finest.
