I have mixed feelings on this topic. This bill is supposed to limit frivolous suits. However it seems to be based on whather you can win. Will this mean we will not be able to create something and then defend it. Watch this space. I will try and ad the bill text itself when it is available.

Here is the wording from the bill session
H.R. 6245. A bill to amend chapter 29 of title 35, United States Code, to provide for the recovery of computer hardware and software patent litigation costs in cases where the court finds the claimant did not have a reasonable likelihood of succeeding, and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Isn't this the whole purpose of a court. Don't we have the right to a trial with 12 of our piers.
