#ThisWeekinNET — Episode 77
In this week’s episode, we look at patent trolls, what they are, and why a recent Cloudflare win also helps the industry to innovate.
Host João Tomé is joined by Emily Terrell, Senior Legal Counsel, Litigation, and Patrick Nemeroff, Senior Director, Legal Counsel. We discuss how Cloudflare was sued by the patent troll Sable but emerged victorious. Sable was ordered to pay Cloudflare $225,000 and grant a royalty-free license to its entire patent portfolio.
