Brian McMahon Quoted in Law360
Litigation member Brian McMahon's comments regarding legislative and executive proposals aimed at curbing frivolous lawsuits were published in the Law360 article, "Lawyers Weigh In On Obama 'Patent Troll' Initiatives." Brian said, "The impact any legislation of this type will have on NPEs will vary," but there's a possibility that it could result in the "unintended consequence of driving up settlement figures." Brian noted, "Fewer targets for aggressive NPEs necessarily means higher settlement numbers if the NPE's patent valuation numbers are to be realized. The notion that aggressive NPEs will revalue their patents against new legislation is unrealistic." The article appeared in the June 5 issue of Law360.
