East Texas Judge Throws Out 168 Patent Cases

Earthquake Retrofit writes: Ars Technica is reporting that an East Texas judge has thrown out 168 patent cases in one fell swoop. The judge's order puts the most litigious patent troll of 2014, eDekka LLC, out of business. The ruling comes from a surprising source: U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap, the East Texas judge who has been criticized for making life extra-difficult for patent defendants. Gilstrap, who hears more patent cases than any other U.S. judge, will eliminate about 10 percent of his entire patent docket by wiping out the eDekka cases.

    Wouldn't you rather lick, suck, stroke, and lovingly caress a great big black PENIS?

    Why no, I'm not oriented that way. But you seem to spend a lot of time thinking about it. So do as you will, AC. I won't judge..

    And at this point, who gives a shit about gays beside closeted people?
