They’re back! NTP sues Palm in the post-eBay world
Yesterday, NTP filed a patent infringement suit against Palm. Ho hum, another patent infringement suit, right? Wrong. This one deserves attention. Why? Well, for one, NTP is probably the most recognized of the so-called ‘patent trolls.’ Remember that NTP is the intellectual property holding company that achieved a $612 million settlement with RIM over the BlackBerry devices.
But that was before the Supreme Court tweaked injunctive relief law in eBay v. MercExchange (right before it, actually).
This current lawsuit comes in the wake of the eBay decision. So now, the most famous troll of all is testing the eBay-inspired injunctive relief law. Now that’s interesting.
