●● Microsoft’s Patent Troll Intellectual Ventures is Going After Carriers Now

Posted in America, Courtroom, Microsoft, Patents at 4:38 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Another new lawsuit, this time in Texas (as usual), was filed a few days ago by Microsoft’s largest patent troll, which uses a ‘protection racket’ business model to devastate everyone but Microsoft

THE world’s largest patent troll, Intellectual Ventures, probably enlists IAM as a 'fan', but to those who aren’t in the business of trolling advocacy (some of Microsoft’s so-called ‘news’ site advocate such trolls too), Intellectual Ventures is an enemy.

Having failed to receive ‘protection’ money (settlement), Microsoft’s patent troll is suing again. And guess where… Texas!

Here is what was published a short while ago:

Intellectual Ventures accused T-Mobile and Ericsson of infringing four of its patents related to wireless transmission with their growing Long Term Evolution network in a suit filed Wednesday in Texas federal court. T-Mobile USA Inc. has partnered with Ericsson Inc. to deploy and develop its LTE wireless network since 2012, according to the new complaint. They also have a partnership over commercially available LTE hardware and software, the suit says.

Ericsson itself is feeding patent trolls; this has already reached Europe as well. Later today we’ll write a lot more about patent trolls. █
