The Patent Trolls' Lobby is Happy That Rep. Darrell Issa is Leaving Because He Fought Against Patent Trolls

A badge of honour, coming from the likes of them...

Summary: Darrell Issa, a man of patent reform in the United States, seems to be ending his political career and patent parasites are jubilant about it

Darrell Issa, who stood for PTAB and was repeatedly attacked by patent propagandists, will not seek reelection.



The news was barely notable enough for general news sites to cover. So who covered it? The patent propagandists of course...

Watchtroll continues its political witch-hunts, this time against Congressman Darrell Issa, who promoted good patent reform.

"The news was barely notable enough for general news sites to cover. So who covered it? The patent propagandists of course..."Paul Morinville, who is a liar and patent extremist, also reared his ugly head, trying to push his Watchtroll lunacy into Patently-O which instead wrote: "I received a funny email from Paul Morinville’s US Inventor group stating that “Thousands of US inventors are applauding Rep. Darrell Issa‘s decision to not run for re-election in California’s 49th district, and they’re hopeful his replacement will fix the job-killing problems the Congressman caused by weakening the nation’s patent system.”"

Nonsense. Liar. He could not even pull together a protest of more than a dozen people.

As Patently-O then noted, "Issa is a listed inventor on dozens of patents (utility + design) related to the car alarm company he founded. This background meant that Issa was both knowledgeable and interested in the U.S. patent system."

"He did a good job and he will be remembered for his role restoring some patent sanity in the United States."Issa and also Patently-O are now being heckled by Conservative think tanks with trolls' apologists like Adam Mossoff (he's not a mere staffer). Those are parasites. Not people who themselves invented or developed anything. They're more like lobbyists. They lobby for software patents and the interests of patent trolls down in Texas.

Other patent zealots came out with strongly-worded remarks such as "Good Riddance Rep. Issa." And also "Ding Dong, Darrell Issa's Gone."

How very mature. But Issa should rest assured that being mocked by those horrible people is actually a badge of honour. He did a good job and he will be remembered for his role restoring some patent sanity in the United States.
