In line with the discussion topic for the upcoming class about the Supreme Court and how it handles the little guy vs. patent trolls, this article talks about the Supreme Court’s major ruling last year in TC Heartland v. Kraft Foods.  The ruling in this case abolished the practice of forum shopping in patent cases.  Prior to the case it was very common for patent disputes to be brought in plaintiff favorable jurisdictions, specifically the Eastern District of Texas.  The problem this creates is patent trolls were given an unequal playing field where they could essentially bully other parties to settle since winning in these districts was an uphill battle.  This video is an interesting documentary from the perspective of “the little guy” who takes on a patent troll and exposes some of the shady practices at work that the Supreme Court tried to deal with in the TC Heartland case.  I personally feel the Supreme Court got it right.
