Quality Control: Intellectual Property Analysis of Intellectual Ventures v Nikon
This is a companion piece to Knowledge Tariff in Asia – A Letter to Korea, Taiwan and Japan
As a companion to yesterday's report, where we lay out the seriousness of non-operating patent licensing entities’ exploitive effects on South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan’s GDP, this analysis drives home the point that the countries in question have an opportunity to stop the abuse of both their companies and their own GDP. For example, let us consider the patents asserted in Intellectual Venture’s recent suit against Nikon to highlight the opportunity that, if these countries banded together to finance reexamination, companies in these countries – either defendants or those with licensing agreements with IV – could likely prevail in invalidation of IV patents using their own portfolios.
