Those Who Endlessly Attacked Michelle Lee Now Attack Supporters of PTAB, Not Just PTAB

Summary: Watchtroll, which combats patent progress by character assassination of instrumental figures, continues in its warpath today

THIS didn't take long. Today (this afternoon to be precise) we wrote about the push to defend PTAB, courtesy of HTIA and others. Later in the day, even on a Sunday, Watchtroll began attacking HTIA, dubbing it "efficient infringer lobby" (the usual derogatory term for patent sanity).



"So what Watchtroll argues is, being against patent trolls is "anti-patent"."We have documented nearly a dozen attacks on Michelle Lee from the trolls-loving, Trump-like blowhards who write for Watchtroll. They may have played a role in driving her out of the USPTO while sites like IAM promoted horrifying replacements too.

Steve Brachmann, Gene's henchman (writer, not a technical person), says: "We can probably expect more of the same anti-patent “patent troll” rhetoric from the HTIA given that its members have so fervently worked on behalf of the efficient infringer lobby in recent years. There are already blog posts online touting the group’s nascent efforts in the fight against patent trolls."

"What a miserable lobby for patent trolls and bullies..."So what Watchtroll argues is, being against patent trolls is "anti-patent". Remember when they called EFF “a leftist anti-patent activist coalition”? Or all those attacks on judges whom Watchtroll refused to accept (for their judgments)?

Watch the above article in the comments, where anonymous bullies are already adding the usual attacks on Michelle Lee. Is this site just supported by the likes of IBM or also funded by them? What a miserable lobby for patent trolls and bullies...
