Patent licensing company launches campaign against demand letters | WashingtonExaminer.com
PLANO, Texas (Legal Newsline) – A Texas-based patent licensing company is taking aim at âextortionistâ demand letters sent by so-called patent âtrolls.â On Monday, Conversant Intellectual Property Management launched what it describes as an âeducational campaignâ against the use of the letters. It contends the letters are âvictimizingâ thousands of small and medium-sized businesses. Demand letters — the crux of the current patent reform debate — are often sent by patent trolls in an attempt to enforce or assert rights in connection with a patent or a pending patent.
