The initialism stands for "non-practicing entity" -- i.e., a business that does not actually use the patents it owns outside of the courtroom. The federal courts in Texas are notoriously solicitous of patent claims, so there is an incentive for patent trolls to be based there. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

This past Monday, the new restoration date was delayed further to Sept 7. After weeks of waiting, since Aug. 9 (22 days), textbotting, on hold for hours, being told numerous times it was only 1, 2, 3 more days, weeks, I had pretty much given up! Then, through Nate, Mark Mozen contacted me, sent me to Dennis Collinge and just like magic - 24 hours later internet restored. If anyone is still out, Dennis will help. https://www.vaildaily.com/opinion/letter-ask-and-someone-will-help-eventually/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 05 Sep 2021
