Edge Networking Systems LLC exemplifies the growing trend of patent trolling, where firms exploit patents, not innovate, using them primarily for legal extortion against businesses.
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, 'a patent troll uses patents as legal weapons, instead of actually creating any new products or coming up with new ideas.' This practice is rampant due to the broad patents issued.
With over half of all patent lawsuits initiated by trolls, businesses adopting open-source technologies like Kubernetes find themselves increasingly vulnerable to these legal threats and demands.
The financial implications of patent trolling can be daunting, as companies often choose to settle due to the high costs associated with defending against lawsuits, perpetuating this harmful cycle.
