Troll This
In
the semiconductor patent litigation of Rambus versus Hynix, Samsung, Nanya and
Micron: Judge Ronald Whyte in the Northern District of California ruled in favor
of Rambus's in limine motion "to preclude the use of derogatory
characterizations of patents and patentholders, granting the motion as to the
term “patent troll” and limiting the use of the term “submarine patent.”" The
pejoratives may still be used during closing argument.

From a reader: "Whyte also ruled not to let the piece of garbage FTC decision into the case."
