Professor Chien Posts Two Papers on Patent Law

Santa Clara Law Professor Colleen Chien has recently posted two new scholarly articles on patent law.  The first, ‘Holding Up’ and ‘Holding Out‘, calls attention to the problems created by “patent hold-outs,” when companies routinely ignore patent demands because their risks of getting sued are low.  The second article, Why Technology Customers Are Being Sued En Masse for Patent Infringement & What Can Be Done, co-authored with patent litigator Ed Reines of Weil Gotshal, discuss the harms created by en mass patent infringement demands and how we might redress them.  Check out both articles!
