"So for all the talk about using antitrust laws against the tech giants,
perhaps there’s a much better use of antitrust law in taking down
abusive patent trolling operations. At least that’s the theory in a new
lawsuit filed by Intel and Apple against patent troll Fortress
Investment Group LLC. As the lawsuit notes, Fortress was a struggling
company that was acquired by SoftBank in 2017 for $3.3 billion dollars,
and then turned into a massive patent troll.
The complaint is a really good read on how patent trolls could violate
antitrust laws. It even starts out by explaining how trolls violate the
patent clause of the Constitution by not “promoting the progress.”"
