House panel approves bill targeting patent trolls

A U.S. House of Representatives committee has approved legislation aimed at making it more difficult for so-called patent trolls to use infringement lawsuits against other businesses. The House Judiciary Committee, late Wednesday, voted 33-5 to send the Innovation Act to the full House for action there. The bill attempts to discourage some controversial litigation techniques used by PAEs (patent assertion entities), those firms with patent licensing and lawsuits as their primary business model.
