Protecting "End Users" from patent infringement actions
InsideCounsel Magazine
Recent concerns over alleged patent system abuse by non-innovating, non-practicing patent assertion entities have led to many patent reform proposals. In this article, we consider proposals that seek to protect “end users”—businesses that simply buy and use an off-the-shelf product.

Design Patents May Be Next Troll Target
Today's General Counsel
Non-practicing entities currently focus on asserting business method or software patents, but could turn their focus to design patents. The potentially vague and inconsistently applied “ordinary observer test” for infringement, plus the statutory right to recover the infringer’s total profit from the infringing device, make these attractive targets for assertion.

Patent litigators typically focus on whether a patent is valid and infringed, and proving entitlement to a remedy for infringement is often an afterthought. But a favorable verdict may be largely meaningless without an effective remedy.

MOOCs and Consequences
College Planning & Management

The answer, of course, lies in the numbers. The MOOC phenomenon has resulted in hundreds of thousands of individuals signing on to take part in this "new" education sensation. It is not at all far-fetched to expect that a single MOOC may register well over a million persons at a time. And in patent litigation, these…
