“MPHJ Technology Investments quickly became one of the best-known ‘patent trolls’ of all time by sending out thousands of letters to small businesses—16,465 of them, we now know—saying that if the business did not pay a licensing fee of $1,000 or more per worker, it would be sued for patent infringement. MPHJ claimed to have patents that cover any networked ‘scan-to-email’ function. The FTC’s interest in MPHJ was revealed in an audacious ‘preemptive strike’ lawsuit that MPHJ actually filed against the FTC on Monday. The suit, which names the four sitting FTC commissioners personally, says that the agency has overstepped its bounds and trampled on MPHJ’s constitutional rights.”
