Week 5 EOC: Patent Trolls



After reading this article, it shocks me that big name companies such as Brooks Brothers and Proctor and Gamble, would even neglect the fact that they need to update their patents. Patent pending is a very big deal and for those companies not to follow the rules and regulations for patents, is very unprofessional to me. However, patent trolls are worse. Patent trolls are out on the prowl, trying to sue for patent infringement. These “creatures” are costing corporations billions of dollars for their wrong doings. My thoughts on this matter are that I think with how advanced our technology is nowadays, there should already be a way to avoid situation like this from happening. There needs to be a simpler way to keep track of these patent dates in a timely and orderly fashion. If not, situations like this will continue to happen, possibly ruining big name corporations.
