You're doin' fine, Oklahoma! Just don't send any patent demand letters!

According to a story in NewsOK, the law, which goes into effect November 1, prohibits sending patent demand letters in bad faith, requiring the patentholder to conduct due diligence before sending a letter accusing a party of patent infringement.  Suits may be brought by the state attorney general or by private plaintiffs, who may seek damages, costs, attorneys' fees, and punitive damages of up to $50K, or treble the total damages, costs and fees, whichever is greater.

Ah, screw it.  Here's that Wolverine guy singing the song.
