“Spoiler alert: MAVEXAR seems to be driving the litigation in all three sets of cases.”
Chief Judge Connolly made the named patent owners show up in court and explain themselves. One got 10 percent of settlements and had made about $4,000. Another got 5 percent and had made about $11,000. Mavexar ran the lawsuits and kept the rest. The plaintiffs on the paperwork were fronts, and the patent system let it run for years.
