One common feature of patent cases is a very high level of complexity. Without the right guidance, the complexity of these cases can be substantial barriers to many important things for a person who is in patent litigation, whether they are in the litigation as a plaintiff or a defendant.
Clarity important in patent cases
NFL fighting fans over online clips: Infringement or fair use?
We have discussed copyright law in a number of previous posts, as well as the idea that protecting copyrighted material is more important than ever in the age of the internet.

A fair number of our readers can probably claim allegiance to either Apple or Samsung when it comes to cell phone technology. Everybody, it seems, has their own preferences, but whether you have an iPhone or an Android, you largely get the same type of product.

It's out of this fear that thousands of people have copy and pasted the post to their own feeds in hopes of providing themselves with some form of legal protection.
