“Loser Pays tells them, you better have a case. If frivolous – fishing for settlement – they’ll foot the bill!”
But what about the notoriously patent suit-friendly East Texas district court that has become a serious problem to businesses nationwide? Most patent lawsuits in the nation are filed in East Texas. Juries there have overwhelmingly awarded large awards to IP firms suing productive companies.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Texas, but this one thing in particular would keep me from moving a company there. It is Lawsuit Heaven if you’re suing over a patent.
Texas is a bright spot in America — everyone knows it. I do hope they can fix this.
It seems the defendants won in this case. Perhaps I'm confused. Help me out.
