Seattle Patent Litigation Update October 2010

So I'm back to blogging after a six month hiatus. Several factors contributed to this languorous pause, including (in no particular order and definitely not exhaustive), the break-up of Darby & Darby PC after 115 years in business (for more on this read here), the starting of a new West coast office of Frommer Lawrence & Haug (reminder that this blog is a personal blog and it does not reflect the opinion or position of FLH or any of its partners or clients), Google's decision to discontinue FTP publishing on Blogger, a jury trial, and a host of other things one might call "excuses". The good news is that Seattle Patent Litigation was not waiting for me, it kept trucking along, and in August, Paul Allen decided to dust off several patents claiming credit for inventing the internet (sorry Al Gore). What follows is a list of cases since the beginning of March of this year. Patent infringement filings in Washington are on pace to almost double this year compared to last year's total.
