Patent Research Firm Turns the Tables
Patent research firm Article One Partners is offering frequent targets of patent lawsuits a new first-strike tool that turns the tables on initiators of infringement actions.
The New York company, which pays a network of scientists and technology experts to determine if a patented invention is truly novel, typically helps big companies after they are sued by patent holders. Now, it is launching a service that aims to invalidate “poor quality” patents before they are asserted in courts.
