Troll Tracker In Trouble
The Patent Troll Tracker, whose identity only recently came to light as Cisco Systems IP Director Rick Frenkel, is now facing a lawsuit. The frequently cited compiler of patent stats, who remained anonymous for some time, is being sued for defamation by a pair of Texas patent lawyers who appeared in the blog, according to the Prior Art blog.
Peter Zura's 271 Blog got this statement from Cisco: "The parties have mutually agreed to make no comment on the lawsuit in question at this time. That said, we would like to underscore that the comments made in the employee's personal blog represented his own opinions and several of his comments are not consistent with Cisco's views."
FYI: It looks like Frenkel's blog is now accessible to invited readers only.
