Howrey Tells Clients It's Getting Off the Troll Road

In an overt example of choosing sides in the patent troll debate, Howrey proclaims in a new brochure for clients that it absolutely won't represent trolls -- and criticizes firms that do. "We decided it was madness to work both sides of the street," said Howrey's Henry Bunsow. While several IP lawyers chided Howrey for its in-your-face marketing, most acknowledged that the issue is being actively debated by the in-house crowd, with some companies asking up front if a firm does work for patent trolls.

Alan R. Friedman, a partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman, writes that the recent ruling in Salinger v. Colting provides some reassurance to copyright owners that more than an after-the-fact rationale as to how the putative parody transforms and comments on the original is required and that the proffered parody will be subject to scrutiny. However, just as the criteria for determining when a parody qualifies as fair use are imprecise, the rigor with which the proffered parody is to be scrutinized is not subject to an established standard. As a result, the outcome in these cases appears to depend heavily on how great the deference (or strict the scrutiny) the judge hearing the case applies when evaluating whether the proffered parody qualifies as a "fair use" under Campbell.
