Kodak Says Intellectual Ventures Behind Patent Lawsuit Filed By Shell Company

from the piercing-the-veil dept

Last year, Zusha Elinson broke the story that, despite Nathan Myhrvold hiding behind the claim that Intellectual Ventures hadn't sued anyone over patent infringement, IV's patents were miraculously showing up in lawsuits being filed by shell companies. Of course, IV and the shell companies have been completely silent over how this all works, so IV can pretend to be totally separate. However, multiple reports have come out claiming that IV "sells" these patents to patent attorneys, who set up shell companies with which to sue, and IV gets a cut of any money won. In other words, it's hiding behind these shell companies to pretend it's not suing, when the truth is quite different.

It seems that at least one company sued over such a patent is hitting back. Joe Mullin points us to the Legal Pad blog, which notes that Kodak, who has been sued for patent infringement by a shell company (PFI) being represented by Ray Niro (famous for, among other things, being the first person labeled a "patent troll," as well as suing a bunch of companies he didn't like with a bogus patent -- finally rejected for good, recently -- that he claimed covered any website that used a JPEG image), doesn't believe that it's really the shell company that's behind this lawsuit. It's demanding that Intellectual Ventures take part:
"Kodak should be accorded the right to sit down across the table from IV as well as PFI, so that it can inquire as to IV's intentions," Jones Day lawyers write. "It should come as no surprise that Kodak's attitude towards settlement may be affected by learning whether or not this case is the first of a series of patent litigation salvos to be launched against it by IV, whether directly or through a proxy like PFI."
IV's response, as per usual, is to play dumb:
"At this point, we haven't made a decision yet. We don't know what Kodak wants or why they want us there. We don't have a say in the litigation nor do we have control over Picture Frame Innovation or the patent."
Note that this doesn't actually answer the question of whether or not IV has a financial interest in the lawsuit. Of course it doesn't have actual control over the shell company or the lawsuit. No one thinks IV is so stupid to leave a trail that direct. But that doesn't mean it didn't sell this patent with the plan of profiting from such a lawsuit. The whole thing is so *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* it just shows off IV's total arrogance. It thinks that it's smarter than everyone else and can play the system to its (very profitable) advantage -- even if it's stifling innovation left and right.

    Patent Trolling

    How is patent trolling any different in concept from cyber squatting? Both practices seek unjust enrichment by manipulating the legal system.

    Companies like intellectual ventures, play a paramount roll in innovation. They force other companies to work around the patent, thus inventing new things that would never have come about if they were permitted to use the ideas of the company that claimed ownership first.

    Think of all the great things that have come out of software patents. Google, Windows, PhotoShop, Linux etc, etc.. If Linux were not infringing on 150+ patents belonging to Microsoft, there would be no reason for them to spend so much time innovating around them!

    Take the infamous Fat32 patent, This patent pretty much covers all plug & play out of the box file formats. This results in locking Linux out of the game without infringing. But guess what? ... Thats great for consumers!! Think of all the choices they will never need to make!

    Come on people!

    I am not a fan of IV because I think that their dealings with inventors leave much to be desired.

    But I must disagree with claims that their enforcing their patent rights is wrong, because they are perfectly justified in defending their patent property rights.

    There are good reasons to conduct enforcement actions from a unique entity for each case. They are the same reasons that people create corporations for any business, in that it compartmentalizes liability.

    Kodak is also perfectly justified in enforcing their patent rights.

    Every reader of TechDIRT derives income from some source. Some are wage slaves and others may be in their own business. In every case you expect some sort of compensation for what you do. Inventors also must have compensation in order to support their business of inventing.

    The only difference between the invention business and others is the amount of risk and a much larger payout when one succeeds. In the end, every business regardless of the time frames and risk factors must payoff or it will fail.

    Big companies also take risks, like intentionally infringing smaller entities patents hoping that those entities will not be able to afford to hold them accountable. Those who take this risk deserve what they are getting.

        It is sustainable

        The point of the patent system is to encourage others to invent their own solution in order to avoid having to pay another inventor. This works very well.

        If you remove patent protection and enforcement all inventions will be pilfered and America will not be able to sustain our standard of living.

        We are in the process of converting InventorEd to Drupal at this time. InventorEd services people all over the world, many of whom are using older computers and may be on dialup or radio link communications (outback) which are costly. So InventorEd was intentionally designed for low bandwidth. And yes, it was designed starting in the 1990s and has been through two major updates. It was created in raw html initially and then maintained with Front Page because doing so was easy. And yes, I do realize that Front Page produces crappy code but with over 700 web pages on the site expediency trumped the code issue.

        PIAUSA serves as an example of how open source can be a very poor value. It is based on EZ Publish, an atrocious piece of bloated crap. We paid for commercial use and I have to say that it never delivered on the claims. When we are finished with InventorEd we will also be converting PIAUSA to Drupal.

        I have nothing against open source except for the fact that much of it is worth exactly what people pay and the entitlement mentality of those in the community who think that they should be able to pilfer others intellectual property to use as a loss leader to generate consulting fees.

    The thing is that we need laws and standards to prevent patent abuse, one good standard being that patents should only apply from the moment a product is released to the first who actually releases a product.

    Ronald J. Riley is correct in my opinion in nearly every statement above. Just check Wikipedia's listing for "patent" and learn. Hiding behind anonymous posting is the bane of the internet ... if you feel strongly about something, don't be afraid to stand up for it, as Mr. Riley does. It's a shame that every generation has to re-invent the wheel ... the open source community's denouncing of patents is simply a way of hiding one's head in the sand and not checking the prior art (which is getting easier to do every year.) That's not to say there are not abuses in the worldwide patent system, but I give credit to Mr. Riley for speaking up in this forum.

    Is there a reason you keep misspelling Techdirt’s name as ‘TechDIRT [sic]’? Are you aware of how it makes you look (like an idiotic fool who cannot be bothered to look at the title of the page just to see how the name is spelled)?

    Ownership too

    It is really interesting when you start looking into shell companies, especially with regards to who they own and who owns them. It is often very difficult to track, clearly things to hide!

    Hiding behind shell corporations is a good way to protect yourself in a lot of ways, but the way IV is playing dumb and avoiding the reasonable request from Kodak to have a discussion with them shows they have no interest in encouraging technology. Night Vision Rifle Scopes

    Typical...

    Its typical that one party is "playing dumb." I think because they are trying to avoid the reality of it that they are the party in the wrong. I agree and it looks like IV was up to something scamming and dishonest.
