The problem with these patents

2000
ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” ืขื ื”ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื ื”ืืœื”

is that the mechanisms are obscure

2000
ื”ื™ื ืฉื”ืžื ื’ื ื•ืŸ ื”ื•ื ืžืขื•ืจืคืœ

And because these settlements are under a non-disclosure agreement,

ื•ื›ื™ื•ื•ืŸ ืฉื”ื”ืกื“ืจื™ื ื”ืืœื” ื—ืกื•ื™ื™ื,

ื”ื™ื” ืžืขื™ืŸ ืคื’ื ื—ืžื•ืจ
01:22
as it pertained to myself,
27

ืžื‘ื—ื™ื ืชื™:

Now my company, Fark,

2000
ื”ื—ื‘ืจื” ืฉืœื™, ืคืืจืง,
01:35
deals with news, ostensibly,

2000
ืžืชืขืกืงืช ื›ื‘ื™ื›ื•ืœ ื‘ื—ื“ืฉื•ืช,
01:37
and as a result
34
97260
2000
ื•ืœื›ืŸ
01:39
we were not in violation of this patent.
35
99260
2000
ืœื ื”ืคืจื ื• ืืช ื”ืคื˜ื ื˜ ื”ื–ื”.
01:41
So case closed, right?
36

2000
ืกื•ืฃ ื”ืกื™ืคื•ืจ, ื ื›ื•ืŸ?
01:43
Wrong.
37
103260
2000
ื˜ืขื•ืช.
01:45
One of the major problems with patent law is that,
38
105260
2000
ืื—ืช ื”ื‘ืขื™ื•ืช ื”ื’ื“ื•ืœื•ืช ืขื ื—ื•ืง ื”ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื ื”ื™ื,
01:47
in the case that when you are sued by a patent troll,
39
107260
3000
ืฉืื ืชื‘ืข ืืชื›ื ื˜ืจื•ืœ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื,
01:50
the burden of proof that you did not infringe on the patent

ื—ื•ื‘ืช ื”ื”ื•ื›ื—ื” ืฉืœื ื”ืคืจืชื ืืช ื”ืคื˜ื ื˜
01:53
is actually on the defendant,
41
113260
2000
ื—ืœื” ืœืžืขืฉื” ืขืœ ื”ื ืืฉื,
01:55
which means you have to prove
42

2000
ื›ืœื•ืžืจ ืืชื ืืœื” ืฉื—ื™ื™ื‘ื™ื ืœื”ื•ื›ื™ื—
01:57
that you do not infringe on the patent they're suing you on.

And this can take quite a while.

3000
ื•ื–ื” ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืืจื•ืš ื–ืžืŸ ืจื‘ ืœืžื“ื™.
02:03
You need to know that the average patent troll defense

2000
ืขื•ืœื” ืฉื ื™ ืžื™ืœื™ื•ืŸ ื“ื•ืœืจ
02:08
and takes 18 months when you win.

ื•ืื•ืจื›ืช 18 ื—ื•ื“ืฉื™ื, ืื ืืชื ื–ื•ื›ื™ื.
02:11
That is your best case outcome
48

ื–ื• ื”ืชื•ืฆืื” ื”ื˜ื•ื‘ื” ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžื‘ื—ื™ื ืชื›ื

ืื ืชื‘ืข ืืชื›ื ื˜ืจื•ืœ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื.
02:15
Now I had hoped to team up with some of these larger companies

ืงื™ื•ื•ื™ืชื™ ืœื—ื‘ื•ืจ ืขื ื›ืžื” ืžื”ื—ื‘ืจื•ืช ื”ื’ื“ื•ืœื•ืช ื™ื•ืชืจ
02:18
in order to defend against this lawsuit,
51
138260
2000
ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ืชื’ื•ื ืŸ ื ื’ื“ ื”ืชื‘ื™ืขื” ื”ื–ื•,
02:20
but one-by-one they settled out of the case,
52
140260
3000
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื ื”ื’ื™ืขื• ื‘ื ืคืจื“ ืœืคืฉืจื•ืช ื•ื™ืฆืื• ืžื”ืชื‘ื™ืขื”,
02:23
even though -- and this is important --
53
143260
2000
ืœืžืจื•ืช -- ื•ื–ื” ื—ืฉื•ื‘ --
02:25
none of these companies

2000
ืฉืืฃ ืื—ืช ืžื”ื—ื‘ืจื•ืช ื”ืืœื”

02:30
And they started settling out.
56
150260
2000
ื•ื”ืŸ ื”ื—ืœื• ืœื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืคืฉืจื•ืช.
02:32
The reason they settled out
57
152260
2000
ื”ืกื™ื‘ื” ืฉื”ืŸ ื”ื’ื™ืขื• ืœืคืฉืจื•ืช ื”ื™ื
02:34
is because it's cheaper to settle than to fight the lawsuit --
58
154260
2000
ืฉื–ื•ืœ ื™ื•ืชืจ ืœื”ืชืคืฉืจ ืžืืฉืจ ืœื”ื™ืœื—ื ื‘ืชื‘ื™ืขื” --
02:36
clearly, two million dollars cheaper in some cases,
59
156260
3000
ื•ื–ื” ื‘ืจื•ืจ: ื‘ื—ืœืง ืžื”ืžืงืจื™ื ื–ื” ื–ื•ืœ ื‘ืฉื ื™ ืžื™ืœื™ื•ืŸ ื“ื•ืœืจ

ื•ื–ื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ื™ืงืจ ืื ืืชื ืžืคืกื™ื“ื™ื.
02:41
It would also constitute a massive distraction for management of a company,

ื”ื’ืขื ื• ืกื•ืฃ ืกื•ืฃ ืœืฉืœื‘ ื”ื’ื™ืœื•ื™.

And in discovery phase,
65
171260
2000
ื•ื‘ืฉืœื‘ ื”ื’ื™ืœื•ื™,
02:53
we asked the patent troll to please provide

69
179260

Now perhaps it's because no such screenshots actually existed,

that the address led to a strip mall somewhere in Northern L.A.

Now why? You can call them.

They're not under NDA either.

04:03
Now what did I learn from this case? Well, three things.
95
243260
3000
ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ืžื” ืœืžื“ื ื• ืžื”ืžืงืจื” ื”ื–ื”? ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ ืฉืœื•ืฉื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื.
04:06
First of all, if you can,
96
246260
3000
ืจืืฉื™ืช, ืื ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื,
04:09
don't fight the patent, fight the infringement.
97
249260
3000
ืืœ ืชืœื—ืžื• ื‘ืคื˜ื ื˜, ืชืœื—ืžื• ื‘ื”ืคืจื”.
04:12
Patents are very difficult to overturn.
98
252260
2000
ืงืฉื” ืžืื•ื“ ืœื‘ื˜ืœ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื.
04:14
Infringement is a lot easier to disprove.
99
254260
3000
ื”ืคืจื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ืงืœ ืœื”ืคืจื™ืš.
04:17
Secondly, make it clear from the beginning
100
257260
2000
ืฉื ื™ืช, ืชื‘ื”ื™ืจื• ืœืžืŸ ื”ื”ืชื—ืœื”
04:19
that either you have no money at all
101
259260
2000
ืฉืื• ืฉืื™ืŸ ืœื›ื ื›ืกืฃ ื‘ื›ืœืœ
04:21
or that you would rather spend money with your attorney fighting the troll
102
261260
4000
ืื• ืฉืชืขื“ื™ืคื• ืœื”ื•ืฆื™ื ืื•ืชื• ืขืœ ืขื•"ื“ ืฉืœื›ื ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ื™ืœื—ื ื‘ื˜ืจื•ืœ
04:25
than actually giving them the money.
103
265260
2000
ืžืืฉืจ ืœืฉืœื ืœื”ื ืืช ื”ื›ืกืฃ.
04:27
Now the reason this works
104
267260
2000
ื•ื”ืกื™ื‘ื” ืฉื–ื” ืขื•ื‘ื“
04:29
is because patent trolls
105
269260
2000
ื”ื™ื ื‘ื’ืœืœ ืฉื˜ืจื•ืœื™ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื
04:31
are paid a percentage of what they're able to recover in settlements.
106

ืžืงื‘ืœื™ื ืื—ื•ื– ืžืกื•ื™ื ืžืžื” ืฉื”ื ืžืฉื™ื’ื™ื ื‘ืคืฉืจื•ืช.
04:34
If it becomes clear to them that they cannot recover any money,
107
274260
3000
ืื ืžืชื‘ืจืจ ืœื”ื ืฉื”ื ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœื”ืฉื™ื’ ื›ืกืฃ,
04:37
they become less interested in pursuing the case.
108
277260
3000
ื™ืฉ ืœื”ื ืคื—ื•ืช ืขื ื™ื™ืŸ ืœื”ืžืฉื™ืš ืืช ื”ืชื‘ื™ืขื”.
04:40
Finally, make sure that you can tell them
109
280260
2000
ืœื‘ืกื•ืฃ, ืชื“ืื’ื• ืœื”ื’ื™ื“ ืœื”ื
04:42
that you will make this process
110
282260
2000
ืฉืืชื ืชืขืฉื• ืืช ื”ืชื”ืœื™ืš ื”ื–ื”
04:44
as annoying and as painful
111
284260
2000
ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ื”ื›ื™ ืžืฆื™ืง, ื›ื•ืื‘
04:46
and as difficult as possible for them.
112
286260
3000
ื•ืžืกื•ื‘ืš ืขื‘ื•ืจื.
04:49
Now this is a tactic that patent trolls are supposed to use on people
113
289260
2000
ื–ืืช ื”ื˜ืงื˜ื™ืงื” ืฉื˜ืจื•ืœื™ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื ืืžื•ืจื™ื ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื”
04:51
to get their way.
114
291260
2000
ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ืฉื™ื’ ืืช ืžื‘ื•ืงืฉื.
04:53
It turns out, because they're paid on contingency,
115
293260
2000
ืžืกืชื‘ืจ ืฉื‘ื’ืœืœ ืฉื”ื ืžืงื‘ืœื™ื ืื—ื•ื–ื™ื,
04:55
it works really, really well in reverse.
116
295260

ื–ื” ืขื•ื‘ื“ ืžืžืฉ-ืžืžืฉ ื˜ื•ื‘ ื‘ื›ื™ื•ื•ืŸ ื”ืฉื ื™.
04:57
Don't forget that.
117
297260
2000
ืืœ ืชืฉื›ื—ื• ืืช ื–ื”.
04:59
So what does all this mean?
118
299260
2000
ืื– ืžื” ื›ืœ ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ?
05:01
Well to sum up,
119
301260
2000
ืื– ื›ื“ื™ ืœืกื›ื,
05:03
it boils down to one thing:
120
303260
2000
ื–ื” ืžืชืžืฆื” ื‘ื“ื‘ืจ ืื—ื“:
05:05
Don't negotiate with terrorists.

ืืœ ืชืงื™ื™ืžื• ืžืฉื ื•ืžืชืŸ ืขื ื˜ืจื•ืจื™ืกื˜ื™ื.

(Applause)
122
308260

(ืžื—ื™ืื•ืช ื›ืคื™ื™ื)
05:13
Patent trolls have done more damage to the United States economy
123
313260
3000
ื˜ืจื•ืœื™ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื ืขืฉื• ื™ื•ืชืจ ื ื–ืง ืœื›ืœื›ืœื” ื”ืืžืจื™ืงืื™ืช

05:21
every year.
126
321260
3000
ื›ืœ ืฉื ื”.
05:24
And what do they do with that money?
127
324260
3000
ื•ืžื” ื”ื ืขื•ืฉื™ื ืขื ื”ื›ืกืฃ?
05:27
They plow it right back into filing more troll lawsuits.
128
327260
4000
ื”ื ืžื–ืจื™ืžื™ื ืื•ืชื• ื™ืฉื™ืจื•ืช ืœื”ื’ืฉืช ืขื•ื“ ืชื‘ื™ืขื•ืช.
05:31
Now this is the point in the Talk
129
331260
2000
ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ื–ื• ื”ื ืงื•ื“ื” ืฉืœ ื”ื”ืจืฆืื”
05:33
where I'm supposed to come up with some kind of a solution for the patent system.
130
333260
3000
ื‘ื” ืื ื™ ืืžื•ืจ ืœื‘ื•ื ืขื ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืคืชืจื•ืŸ ืœืžืขืจื›ืช ื”ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื.
05:36
And the problem with that
131
336260
2000
ื•ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” ืขื ื–ื”
05:38
is that there are two very large industry groups
132
338260
2000
ื”ื™ื ืฉื™ืฉ ืฉืชื™ ืงื‘ื•ืฆื•ืช ื’ื“ื•ืœื•ืช ื‘ืชืขืฉื™ื”
05:40
that have different outcomes in mind
133
340260
2000
ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื”ืŸ ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืื—ืจ ืœืชื•ืฆืื”
05:42
for the patent system.
134
342260
2000
ื‘ืžืขืจื›ืช ื”ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื.
05:44
The health care industry
135
344260
2000
ืชืขืฉื™ืช ื”ืจืคื•ืื”
05:46
would like stronger protections for inventors.
136
346260
2000
ืจื•ืฆื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ื”ื’ื ื•ืช ืœืžืžืฆื™ืื™ื.
05:48
The hi-tech industry
137
348260
2000
ืชืขืฉื™ืช ื”ื”ื™-ื˜ืง
05:50
would like stronger protections for producers.

ืจื•ืฆื” ื”ื’ื ื•ืช ื—ื–ืงื•ืช ื™ื•ืชืจ ืœืžืคื™ืงื™ื.
05:52
And these goals aren't necessarily diametrically opposed, but they are at odds.
139
352260
3000
ื•ื”ื™ืขื“ื™ื ื”ืืœื” ืœื ื‘ื”ื›ืจื— ืžื ื•ื’ื“ื™ื, ืื‘ืœ ื”ื ืœื ื–ื”ื™ื.
05:55
And as a result, patent trolls can kind of live in the space in between.
140
355260

ื•ื›ืชื•ืฆืื” ืžื–ื”, ื˜ืจื•ืœื™ ืคื˜ื ื˜ื™ื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœื—ื™ื•ืช ื‘ืžืจื•ื•ื— ื‘ื™ื ื”ืŸ.
