$NLST Well, wouldn't you know it... the USPTO/PTAB—the agency which examines, grants, then invalidates, the very same patents thereby helping infringers—is being sued for infringement themselves.

"A patent infringement lawsuit filed in late March resembles thousands filed annually: it describes an invention, alleges it was used without permission, and claims the patent owner is entitled to damages. But unlike most cases, the target isn’t a tech company or other business, but the US Patent and Trademark Office—the very agency that scrutinized and issued the six patents it’s now accused of infringing..."

"The lawsuit, from Virginia-based Factor2 Multimedia Systems LLC, is just the second alleging infringement at the PTO..."

"Suing the patent office for infringement comes with a particular set of challenges—including assistance from its own patent experts—that will make it more difficult than cases against other agencies..." Patent Lawsuit Aims at Uncommon Defendant: the US Patent Office
