welp, Nokia is a patent troll now apparently.If you can't get Acer and Asus laptops in Germany, you can thank Nokia for it.
Also yet another reason to use more fair and open codecs.

My bet is that they're going to release games without the patented mechanics on US soil, leaving the rest of the world with the complete game.

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

Cloudflare takes epic victory lap after kicking #PatentTroll ass in court, forcing #Sable to pay costs, make their patent portfolio public and refraining from filing any new suits. Now that’s an ass-kicking if I ever saw one. #Legal #Patents #IP #Cloudflare

Progress against patent trolls:
"#UnifiedPatents' goal is to deter predatory #patent claims, which it does through efforts like its #crowdsourced contests to identify #PriorArt that would invalidate an improperly granted patent…It has successfully challenged over 55 #NPE ["non-practicing entity" or #PatentTroll] efforts that threatened #OpenSource software."

@GossiTheDog Can patents be denied on th grounds of being stupid and harmful to society? I guess not, otherwise #patenttroll wouldn't be a thing 🫣 I'm such a lucky bastard that I live and work in an area where public transport is so good owning a care is more expensive and more hassle than it's worth.

#Stratasys uses 10 patents, two of them orginally from #Makerbot (anyone remember?) to sue #Bambulab in two separate US court cases. Patent infringement claimed on using a heated bed, using a purge tower, force detection etc. Seems to me that Stratasys is patent trolling really hard ATM. https://www.tomshardware.com/3d-printing/3d-printer-maker-bambu-lab-faces-patent-infringement-lawsuits-that-could-threaten-hobbyist-3d-printing-in-general

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/

Two important reasons for keeping AI-generated works in the public domain
Generative AI continues to be the hot topic in the digital world – and beyond. A previous blog post noted that this has led to people finally asking the important question whether copyright is fit for the digital world.
