    Troll detected and reported. Please, don't feed it.

    LOL.

     

    Nice to see Apple at the receiving end of some silly patent lawsuit for once.

     

    And, as usual, if something goes not their way, they run to the US government for help  -- after all "we are Apple! We are exceptional! We are magical!"

     

    Luckily, this case is in Germany, where Americans are not all that popular, so maybe  IPcom has a chance...

     

    Go IPcom!! Let's give Apple some of their own medicine!!!

    * Has Apple ever invented anything?

    * In a word, no.

    Who determines what is and is not frivolous?

    It's supposed to be the USPTO. In the late 2012 Executive Order modifying patenting rules Obama mandated actions to be put in place immediately:
    (1) initiating a PTO rulemaking process to promulgate rules requiring patent applicants and owners to regularly update ownership information
    (2) training patent examiners to more closely scrutinize non-structural functional claims and demand claim drafting with more clarity
    (3) having the PTO publish new educational materials to educate parties targeted by NPEs about patent law
    (4) expanding White House outreach efforts “to develop new ideas and consensus around updates to patent policies and laws”; and
    (5) having the U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator review existing Customs and Border Protection and ITC procedures to ensure more transparent, effective, and efficient enforcement of exclusion orders.

    I was going to make this post if nobody else did. The article's a mess. Nothing the Supreme Court does will have the slightest effect upon Apple's fate in the European suits.

    It does not claim to. It says that in the future, suits in its own country may be affected by the supreme Courts potential decision. It does not try and claim that the German suit would have been affected

    FWIW in this particular case it wouldn't matter if the US modifies patent law to deal with so-called "trolls". The IPCom lawsuit was filed in the EU.

    That is what was stated in the article...

    Exactly.  That companies, like IPCom who sue for SEP, will think twice in "future legal actions in its home country."
