Why you need to worry about the increase in patent troll litigation
There is a startling increase in patent troll litigation, up 44% Q1 25 vs Q1 22-24, the greatest rate of increase in the last 10 years
Four reasons why patent troll litigation is set to increase further:
– Courts more pro patent than they have been both US and Europe (UPC)
– Change in the economy meaning companies are looking for ways to monetise their IP assets
– Technology changes (AI) making it so much easier to determine patent infringement than ever before
– Increased finance available for patent litigation
This all means that the risks of being accused of patent infringement have gone up and will continue to go up.
