Patent Litigation Weekly: How to win $25 million in a patent suitâand end up with a whole lot less
,----[ Quote ]
| 778px-Money_(reais)This week: DeepNines
| collected $25 million when it won an
| infringement suit against anti-virus software
| giant McAfee Inc. in the Eastern District of
| Texas two years ago. But after paying off its
| Fish & Richardson lawyers and outside investors
| at Altitude Capital Partners, the small
| network-security company wound up with less
| than $800,000. And now DeepNines is being sued
| by Altitude, which wants millions more than
| it's already gotten. A revealing look at how a
| leading player in the lawsuit-investment trade
| does business.

| A few months back, someone sent over some

| Peter Boesen, who is both a convicted felon
| in jail and a patent hoarder who licensed
| his patents to a "patent troll" firm to
| assert against tons of tech companies, and
| Niro Scavone, the law firm representing the
| patent company (and the law firm famous
| for, among other things, having been the
| inspiration for the term "patent troll").
