In 2012, 56 percent of patent lawsuits were filed by "patent monetization entities," up from 24 percent in 2007, according to the study, The America Invents Act Expanded: The Effects of Patent Monetization Entities.
The study was conducted by Sara Jeruss, director of legal analytics at Lex Machina, Robin Feldman, Hastings professor and director of the school’s Institute for Innovation Law, and Tom Ewing. They looked at 30,000 cases and almost 30,000 patents that were litigated in 20072008 and 20112012. It was an expanded version of a previous study that examined a sample of 500 cases between 2007 and 2011.
