Supreme Court makes it less desirable for patent trolls to sue

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in a pair of cases which will enable companies who win patent lawsuits to more easily collect fees from the filer. The rulings are aimed at non-practicing entities, also known as “patent trolls,” and are aimed at recovering expenses from cases with little or no merit. The ruling by the supreme court calls for “material inappropriate content” of “objectively baseless” claims be grounds for a finding for a reimbursement of the defendant’s legal fees and other costs.
