Say "Alabama Banker" and this guy's image will pop into your head |
In an unsurprising development, Mr. Latham thinks the Federal Government needs to get its act together and pass it's own anti-"troll" law. He'd like to see the law include:
1. A requirement that demand letters include more detail about the alleged infringement;
2. Protection for "end users" (otherwise known as "actual infringers;" and
3. A "loser pays" provision that would undoubtedly require plaintiffs to post big bonds when they bring suit, a requirement found nowhere else in U.S. civil practice.
I'm sure Congress is going to get right on that. Next year, maybe.
