Patent Trolls on the Run

Lawsuits are being filed and legislation being passed in Vermont, and the patent trolls face an aggressive obstacle to pursuing their goals of easy extortion.  While Federal legislation is still being considered, Vermont has forged ahead with State Legislation that causes the trolls to face financial risk if they send out their usual threatening letters demanding hush money.  If they do not document the specific rights (patent number, patent owner and the specific violation they are asserting), they can instead be prosecuted for making a false claim and fined heavily.  Good news that these hemorrhoids are getting their just rewards.
