Patent Trolls Inbound: Our First Lawsuit
Kind of interesting that the patent troll going after them used to be a patent agent ~15 years ago. I wonder how common that is?

I assume patent trolls buy old patents at a discount and then try to find companies to attack with them.

Yep happened to me. The parent company was an e-cigarette business and they use the profits to buy random patents that have nothing to do with their core business. It was like getting a shakedown call from a mobster.
