The Origins of Section 299
Section 299 was enacted to combat a trend among plaintiffs (principally non-practicing entities) of filing a single lawsuit naming numerous unrelated defendants selling unrelated accused products. Many felt (and Congress ultimately agreed) that this practice undercut the ability of defendants to mount individualized defenses, and made venue transfer difficult. The court in WIAV Networks, LLC v. 3COM Corp., No. 10-3448, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 110957 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 1, 2010) described the issue colorfully as: “each defendant has simply been thrown into a mass pit with others to suit plaintiff’s convenience.”
Often, the practical result of joinder was that many defendants chose to <<<simply settle>>> at the nuisance value of the lawsuit rather than seek adjudication on the merits.
[[[Settlement is Boxed]]] IMO
