ITC Anti-Patent Troll Policy
The International Trade Commission announced on Monday that it will be taking new steps to cut down on the number of lawsuits filed by patent trolls.

A pilot program has been created that will be led by six administrative judges who will determine whether a company has a large enough presence in U.S. production, licensing and research to utilize the court. The committee will determine whether or not a company qualifies within 100 days. The ITC has seen an increased number of patent lawsuits in recent years brought on by non-practicing entities. The agency's latest move to prevent lawsuits from patent trolls was praised by companies like Google, HP, Intel and Oracle.EOHfhpczDKc
