Seems like #watchtroll lost a lot of regular writers. They try to recruit. Even ifs own founder isn't writing there anymore (or barely, at most once a week). Now he's selling agenda by #lobbying and lying, e.g. "Gene Quinn of IPWatchdog" https://www.patentdocs.org/2022/02/webinar-on-the-mechanics-of-fto-investigations.html

Webinar on the Mechanics of FTO Investigations

IPWatchdog and ClearstoneIP will be offering a webinar entitled "The Modern FTO Framework: Strategies for Connected, Risk-Reduced Innovation" on February 17, 2022 at 11:00 am (EST). Rich Roberson of adidas, Lisa Adams of Mintz, Gabe Sukman of...

This past week #watchtroll published FIVE (or more) ATTACK PIECES on #PTAB via #CAFC ... I say AT LEAST 5 because 5 headlines started with the word "CAFC". That's like 30% of all headlines! http://techrights.org/wiki/Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Federal_Circuit_%28CAFC%29

And in "English #FRAND Developments to Watch Out for in 2022" #watchtroll now pushing the "FRAND" (misnomer) agenda. See http://techrights.org/2018/01/01/tcl-v-ericsson/ http://techrights.org/2018/02/20/policy-influenced-by-lobbyists/

FRAND is Unfair, Unreasonable and Discriminatory; Ericsson is Still a FRAND Troll

In commenting on TCL v Ericsson, particular sites give away their biases (and support of Ericsson trolls such as Unwired Planet, formerly Openwave, software.com, phone.com, and Libris, Inc)

#watchtroll now megaphoning a fellow extremist, #PhRMA (basically insisting we should kill millions of people to secure the profits of pharmaceutical giants). See who these people are and what they stand for http://techrights.org/2017/02/07/aipla-phrma-and-aba-lobby-section-101/ http://techrights.org/2018/03/20/attempts-to-thwart-ptab/

The Debate About Software Patents Grew Increasingly Dishonest, Front Groups AIPLA, PhRMA and ABA Try to Restore Them

The patent microcosm is racing to salvage that dying old system which yielded many thousands of lawsuits per year, many of which were initiated by patent trolls and were frivolous by intention (but focusing on small companies that cannot afford...

#watchtroll editor #EileenMcDermot would not point out to you that #Tillis is effectively a corporate mole in "politician" clothing, meeting and coordinating in secret meetings these bills that KILL people, for profit ("Tillis Wants More Info on I-MAK and Other Data Driving Anti-Patent Narratives Around Drug Pricing")

James Pooley at #watchtroll today on "Lessons From #Theranos and the #TradeSecret Defense". If anything, this showed the menace of #patents too. http://techrights.org/2018/05/04/theranos-epo-fraud/

Elizabeth Holmes Charged With “Massive Fraud” and Team Battistelli Rushes to Distance Itself From Her

Theranos in the headlines again... as the EPO tries to distance itself from its previous association with Elizabeth Holmes

It's quite revealing that #watchtroll hooks up with #Tillis (proxy for law firms) and corrupt #iancu to attack #ptab i.e. attack #patent quality http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Andrei_Iancu Iancu works for #patentTrolls

#watchtroll now pushes this lie that #righttorepair put lives at risk

Why does Joseph Matal write for #patent extremists in #watchtroll (link omitted) and why does he boost #microsoftVidal before any confirmation? What has happened to #uspto ??? http://techrights.org/2021/11/29/microsoft-vidal/ #patents

President Biden Wants to Put Microsofter in Charge of the Patent Office, Soon to Penalise Patent Applicants Who Don't Use Microsoft's Proprietary Formats

The tradition of GAFAM or GIAFAM inside the USPTO carries on (e.g. Kappos and Lee; Kappos lobbies for Microsoft and IBM, whereas Lee now works for Amazon/Bezos after a career at Google); it's hard to believe anymore that the USPTO exists to serve...

#watchtroll too has been reduced to #spam or #spamfarm mode... with account "JobOrtunities Help Wanted" rendering the front page "embedded content". They try to make a little money before the site goes under. http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll

#watchtroll running out of writers. Looking for volunteers now. Even the founder/editor left. Good. I hope these extremists will stop polluting the debate with #fakenews http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll

#JamesNurton , now author for patent maximalists at #Watchtroll , has been a mouthpiece for #TeamUPC for many years. Now he helps perpetuate more #fakenews or lobbying by misinformation. http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll

Lies from former #uspto directors in #watchtroll : "#Iancu and #Kappos : TRIPS IP [sic] Waiver Proposal Will Kill More People Than It Saves"... no, the #patents on #covid19 stuff have already killed millions. See http://techrights.org/wiki/David_Kappos and http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Andrei_Iancu

#watchtroll editor Eileen McDermott says "Senate Judiciary Committee Sends Vidal and Stark Nominations to Senate Floor" so it looks like #biden still wants to shoehorn #microsoft person into #uspto leadership http://techrights.org/2021/11/29/microsoft-vidal/

#watchtroll blowhard Gene Quinn now uses #covid19 mandates as an opportunistic schtick by which to attack #scotus over #patent issues, which are not related. Getting truly desperate there. Also, SCOTUS basically dealt a blow to #patents being IMPOSED on everybody.

#watchtroll published "The Supreme Court's Last Expansion of Patent Protection, 20 Years Ago"... but #patent #law isn't means to be expanded. Rather, its expansion should never have been allowed in the first place. http://techrights.org/wiki/SCOTUS

#patent extremists at #watchtroll (Paul Morinville in this case) also use #microsoft propaganda terms like "Big Tech" (2 days ago). #PaulMorinville is #swpats booster: http://techrights.org/2017/08/15/us-inventor-a-failure/

'US Inventor' is an Extremist Group Created by Watchtroll (Not Inventors) to Troll the USPTO for Patent Maximalism

The face behind so-called 'US Inventor' (an anti-PTAB group) which enlists, apparently, a handful of people and does not actually represent American inventors

Of course the extremists at #watchtroll are now (again) attacking #RightToRepair arguing "This is bad news for patient safety." This is the old FUD. Watchtroll is your enemy. Works for #monopolies and their law firms. http://techrights.org/wiki/Watchtroll

So according to #watchtroll both Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) are now puppets of #patent extremists

#watchtroll : "While Chief Justice Roberts did not mention the Western District of Texas by name, that is what he is concerned about, which is clear from his reference to Senators expressing concern— concern that has been expressed relative to patent case assignment in the Western District of Texas."
