    David, I assume that if they only ever hear one side of the story, what you say might be true.

    Would like to have another way to send questions as I find twitter annoying. Would be interested in the constitutional challenges to the “patent troll” acts that North Carolina, Vermont, and Florida are enacting.

    Ned – I am not sure that the Legislative branch is going to be your ally in this fight.

    Gene, I have been told that Massey is up to speed on the constitutional challenges to IPRs, or at least knows about them. You might want to raise that topic.
