Oh look, a patent troll.

At least they're going after two of the most valuable companies on the planet, and not shitting on a bunch of little startups, I guess.

Yeah, I think so.

At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it's actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.

That guy Parin Dalal seems like the only one who has anything to do with tech at all. The rest, yeah all IP specialists. He probably acts as their advisor so they don't look like complete assholes.

It's still a horrible precedent. Don't feed the trolls.
