What is a patent?
A patent is a deal between an inventor and the government — a 20-year monopoly in exchange for public disclosure. Most patents that get litigated would not survive serious scrutiny.
How patent trolls operate (and why the business model works)
A junk patent generates settlement income exactly the same way as a strong one, because nobody pays $1M to test a $200k demand. The mechanics matter because the failure modes — what makes assertion campaigns expensive or risky for the troll — are exactly where defendants find leverage.
Obviousness under § 103
Most patented inventions are combinations of existing ideas. The modern KSR standard makes those combinations easier to attack than they used to be.
How to obtain a patent
The USPTO process takes 2-3 years and costs $10,000-$15,000. The patent that comes out the other end is only as valuable as your willingness to spend much more enforcing it.
How to read a patent claim chart
The claim chart is where the plaintiff's case actually lives. The complaint is a pitch deck; the chart is the homework — and most patent troll homework doesn't survive a careful read.
