Drew Curtis: Si e mundi një patentues

Patent trolls exploit obscure and overly broad patents to sue companies for everyday practices, often settling for large sums under non-disclosure agreements. Defending against these lawsuits can cost two million dollars and take 18 months, even if the defendant wins. One small company refused to settle or sign an NDA, exposing the troll’s lack of evidence and ultimately paying nothing. Patent trolls drain billions from the economy each year, fueling more lawsuits and stifling innovation.
