The patent-game fundamentally changed last year. New administrative law procedures are killing patents with about an 85% kill rate for 1/5 the cost of district court trials. It's the biggest patent law story right now. Many highly-regarded plaintiff's firms have stopped taking contingency patent cases in recent months as a result of the stats we're seeing. http://www.insidecounsel.com/2014/03/19/patent-owners-beware...
