  • Patent term and expiration

    Patents don't last forever. They don't even reliably last 20 years. The expiration date that actually matters depends on the earliest filing date, the maintenance schedule, and any USPTO or FDA delays the patent owner can claim back.

  • Patent trolls in 2025: the year in numbers

    2025 was a banner year for patent trolls — and not by accident. Filings surged while the defendant's cheapest weapon, the PTAB, was quietly taken off the table. Here's what the reporting shows, and why the two are connected.

  • Most-litigated US patents: 12 patents that defined the patent troll era

    If a demand letter lands on your desk citing one of these, you are not the first. The campaign playbook is on file. The defenses other defendants used are public record.

  • Patent law glossary

    Sixty-plus patent-law terms, defined in one or two sentences each, with a link to the deeper article. The universal landing pad when an article uses a term you don't know.

  • § 285 attorney-fee shifting in practice

    § 285 isn't a guaranteed remedy. It's a high-effort, high-evidence tool that pays off occasionally and dramatically — turning a $3M defense expense into a $3M plaintiff bill.

Not every patent holder is a “troll”

Not all companies that litigate their patents are patent trolls. A patent troll — technically a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE), sometimes called a Patent Assertion Entity (PAE) — is a person or entity that acquires patents (often broad or vague ones) not to produce goods, but to extort licensing fees or settlements from companies through threats of infringement litigation. Many patent owners enforce their patents legitimately to protect real products, technologies, and research investments they have actually made. The analyses on this site are tools for evaluating any patent assertion on its merits — not blanket accusations against every patentee.
