White House Announces Executive Actions Designed to Combat Patent Trolls

SUMMARY. Last week, the White House announced new executive actions characterized as initiatives "to combat patent trolls and further strengthen our patent system and foster innovation." This marks a continuation of the White House’s efforts to protect innovators following passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) in 2011. While the executive actions may result in an increasing amount of user-friendly behavior by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, it remains to be seen if the executive actions will have any effect on patent assertion entity (PAE) activity.
