Law Briefly Stemmed the Flood of Patent Claims

But it's had mixed results. "While the America Invents Act [Pub. L. 112-29] may have slowed the train somewhat for a time, it is still barreling down the tracks," says UC Hastings law school professor Robin Feldman, who directs the school's Institute for Innovation Law. To find trends, she reviewed all patent lawsuits filed in selected years between 2007 and 2012.
