“The FTC recognizes that infringement litigation plays an important role in protecting patent rights, and that a robust judicial system promotes respect for the patent laws. Nuisance infringement litigation, however, can tax judicial resources and divert attention away from productive business behavior,” the report states.
And, from an article in Fortune: "The agency, which notes that a disproportionate amount of patents used by PAEs are related to computers and software, also proposes other key changes to the patent system:
-Forcing NPEs to reveal who owns them (the opaque shell company system has long been a frustration) for targets of patent trolls
-Stopping NPEs from suing a manufacturers’ customers, which is a tactic some trolls use to gain leverage over companies
-Making NPEs be specific about how a defendant infringes their patent"
(note, none of these would be of concern to Marathon)
This is with consistent with the observation that the overwhelming negative national tone on patent enforcement entities of any type may be lessening in this country.
