PATENTS - NJ Bill
In February, Assemblyman Troy Singleton (D-Mount Laurel)
introduced what he notes is a "bipartisan measure" that would
prohibit a person "from making a bad faith assertion of patent
infringement."
"We wanted to take
a strong approach to this in the state of New Jersey and try to address
it," Singleton said.
Singleton said the
measure is about more than stopping frivolous suits.
These trolls, he said,
through their "very amorphous claims" of patent infringement, pose a
serious threat to business innovation.
"I don't think we
have the luxury, especially in a state like New Jersey … to allow individuals
to stifle that innovation," Singleton said. The trouble is they are
tough to fight.
