IP/DE also has an account of LaPray's hearing, in which "her" attorney appears to try not-so-subtly representing #Mavexar's interests over hers

That #Mavexar #PatentTroll FAFO appears to have gone about as well as anyone watching these cases might have predicted

Remarkably, another #Mavexar #PatentTroll entity (in case that was on hold pending other appeals, now resolved) appears to have decided to try the FAFO approach with Judge Connolly

After #Mavexar #PatentTroll shell company owner / designated bag holder Lori LaPray lost her appeal, Judge Connolly ordered her to appear at a hearing on Sept 28, which she apparently did, ending the $200/day sanction and leaving her on the hook for $53,000.
And so, to circle back to the start of the thread, that's what a "NOTICE OF OBJECTION TO AND NON-PARTICIPATION IN JUDICIAL INQUISITION" gets you

Straw owner of #Mavexar #PatentTroll shell company lost their appeal, on the hook for $200/day since last August (and AFAICT, also appeal costs). That's a pricey bit of FAFO https://ipde.com/blog/2024/07/17/44200-in-sanctions-and-counting-just-to-avoid-a-trip-to-delaware/

Court appointed amicus' argument the #Mavexar #PatentTroll shell company owners contempt sanction should stand spends a solid couple pages detailing the possible crimes and other misconduct… showing up would probably have been the better option

Meanwhile, appeals court denies #Mavexar #PatentTroll shell company owner's request to stay her $200/day contempt sanction pending appeal, though they do agree to "expedite these appeals so that they will be scheduled for the next available oral argument session after briefing completes" https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67776905/backertop-licensing-llc-v-canary-connect-inc/#entry-23

Whoops. In a different #Mavexar #PatentTroll case, Judge Connolly referred the attorneys to "the Texas Supreme Court's Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee, the PTO, and the Department of Justice"

Judge Connolly apparently also doesn't think much of the #Mavexar #PatentTroll's odds, motion to stay the $200/day fine denied, in part because "Ms. LaPray has not made a strong showing that she is likely to succeed in her appeal"

#Mavexar strategy (as unraveled by Connolly in the course of several cases) appears to involve setting up random people with what's pitched as a "passive income" opportunity: The sucker gets set up with an empty LLC that "owns" the patent, and then Mavexar-directed lawyers file troll lawsuits in their name. If the troll suit goes bad, the LLC has minimal assets, and any case, the "owner" is on the hook rather than Mavexar

Back in July, an affiliate of the #Mavexar #PatentTroll enterprise filed what they styled as a "NOTICE OF OBJECTION TO AND NON-PARTICIPATION IN JUDICIAL INQUISITION" (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63272289/backertop-licensing-llc-v-canary-connect-inc/#entry-48) in response to be ordered to appear at a hearing
You may be thinking, "hey, that doesn't sound like a thing" and (after they also failed to appear for a show cause hearing) Chief Judge Connolly agrees https://ipde.com/blog/2023/08/21/chief-judge-connolly-holds-mavexar-related-witness-in-contempt-fines-her-200-per-day-until-she-appears/
