Halliburton Tries To Patent Form Of Patent Trolling | |
Wanderer User ID: 534029 United States 11/10/2008 03:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More from the most crooked company that's ever existed. [link to www.techdirt.com] The folks over at Patently-O have highlighted a fascinating patent application from an attorney at Halliburton, which appears to be an attempt to patent the process of patent trolling. The application covers, quite explicitly, having a company (we'll say Company A) that does not invent something, find a company (Company B) that did invent something, but chose to use trade secret protection, rather than patents. Then, the Company A files a patent covering Company B's technology, and then use the issued patent to get money out of Company B. |
