Ask HN: First Steps with a Patent Troll?

I successfully fended off a patent troll a few years ago in the notorious Eastern District Court of Texas - https://joelx.com/how-to-beat-a-patent-troll-in-east-texas/

Speak to an attorney and ask them if there's a way to counter-sue for attorney fees + damages. If there is, you may be able to find someone willing to work on contingency, and then not only not spend much of your money but eliminate the source of the problem once and for all by suing them out of existence.

you may not have a lot of money, but if you have a large network of people willing to do legwork in fidelity, at the direction of a lawyer, you have a chance to gather supporting documents, affidavit, etc. in time to counter well with motion to dismiss based on meritless claims.

so dont drag your feet, approach a lawyer[s] and find one prepared to make a good effort.

it sounds like you are in a position that begs some legal assistance as part of regular operations, you should have one in your "rolodex"
