| Abstract: | In this article we analyze the trend, rate of litigation and disposition of US patents in the US Federal Courts. We find that litigation rates of software and business method patents is four times that of all other patents and is increasing. The most of patent litigations aren't won by the perpetrator of the lawsuits. The open source software community is not immune to heightened patent litigations either. |
