Patent Law

Lemley and friends starting new law firm

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

Meanwhile IV is funding a study to be done by Lemley:

While Intellectual Ventures has yet to assert its patents in court, it also maintains that litigation "is possible in any business," according to its Web site.
That is why some are skeptical of the forthcoming study, which is being undertaken in collaboration with Stanford University Law Professor Mark Lemley. If the study finds that non-practicing entities have played a relatively minor role in the rise of litigation, it is likely to raise questions, given the involvement of Intellectual Ventures.
