Troll Tracker Lands Job Fighting Patent Trolls!
In previous posts (Troll Tracker's Identity Revealed :( and Troll Tracker [Why People Hate Lawyers]), I discussed threats and bounties put up by patent attorney Ray Niro against the then-anonymous Troll Tracker (who repeatedly highlighted various patent lawsuits Niro was filing), which finally resulted in Troll Tracker being exposed as an in-house patent attorney at Cisco, Rick Frenkel. Frenkel was then sued for defamation by two lawyers in Texas, based on comments he had made about them on his blog.
Good news: as reported in Troll Tracker blogger Rick Frenkel moves to Wilson Sonsini, he has "left Cisco Systems and moved to Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a top Silicon Valley law firm, where he is of counsel. 'We were impressed with his breadth and depth of experience,' said Michael Barclay, an IP litigation partner at Wilson Sonsini and a PTT reader, natch. 'Rick has developed a lot of knowledge and insights about patent trolls that will be helpful to our clients who have to deal with them.'"
Good! Go get 'em, Rick!

"Patent Hawk" Sues Microsoft, Former Client, for Patent Infringement
As reported on The Patent Prospector blog,
Inventor Gary Odom, founder of Patent Hawk, has asserted 7,363,592 against Microsoft. '592 claims a feature of the tool groups used in the Office 2007 tool ribbon.
Now, as noted on the Patent Prospector blog, "Microsoft was a Patent Hawk client for years. They had every opportunity for friendly [sic] discussion. The words 'patent tax' were used, and Microsoft chose a path consistent with their corporate culture."
A few observations. First, it is striking that Odom is suing is former client. Second, Patent Prospector whines that Odom just wanted a "friendly" discussion, and big ole' mean Microsoft wouldn't play ball. Hint: it's not "friendly" when you threaten to sic the state thugs on someone if they don't pony up. If the thugs in power didn't make it legal, it would be called "extortion."
Third, Patent Prospector implies that there's something wrong with viewing such a threat as a "tax". There's not. That's exactly what it is. Odom threatens his former client with severe financial damage by the state's thugs, and they call it a "tax." Hey, unfair! They are supposed to just pay their former attorney! Patent Prospector whines that Microsoft's "corporate culture" is a problem here, in viewing such demands as a tax. Would that more companies would openly call these extortortionate demands what they are.
But maybe we're a bit unfair to just take Patent Prospector's word for what really happened between Patent Hawk/Odom and Microsoft. Oh, wait--Patent Prospector is also apparently run by Patent Hawk/Odom.

Incorporation and the Fourteenth Amendment: The 140 Year Old "Riddle"
I just came across an interesting article by law professor George C. Thomas, "Thomas on Wildenthal on the 14th Amendment" (discussed on the Legal Theory Blog here).
A bit of background first. The meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, "ratified" in 1868, has been debated for about 140 years now--and increasingly so in the last 90 or so years as the "Due Process" clause of that Amendment was used as a source of federal power over the states, via the "incorporation doctrine," under which many of the rights implicit in the first 8 amendments of the Bill of Rights have been "incorporated" into the Due Process clause and thereby "applied" to the states (for discussion and criticism, see here, here, and here).
The standard line among libertarian proponents of the Fourteenth Amendment and its use by the federal courts as a tool to oversee and strike down "unconstitutional" state laws is that the Privileges or Immunities Clause is the proper basis for some sort of incorporation; but that the Supreme Court, in the 1873 Slaughter-House Cases inappropriately eviscerated the P-I clause, preventing its use for applying the Bill of Rights against the states.
