Interesting Read: Patent Suits Drop as Rule Changes Favor Tech Companies

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-28/patent-suits-drop-as-rule-changes-favor-tech-companies.html?cmpid=yhoo

Technology companies have been the target of fewer patent lawsuits since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and new government polices made it less profitable for licensing firms that create no products to file questionable cases against those that do.

The number of suits filed in the third quarter of the year dropped by 23 percent from the second quarter, according to a study by industry coalition Unified Patents. About 88 percent of the decline is because of fewer cases by companies that make more than half their revenue from patent licensing and who sue companies in the computer, electronics and software fields.
