Stupid Patent of the Month
Patent trolls are everyone’s problem. A study from 2019 showed that 32% of patent troll lawsuits are directed at small and medium-sized businesses. We told the stories of some of those small businesses in our Saved by Alice project.
But some patent trolls go even further. Hawk Technology LLC doesn’t just sue small businesses (although it does do that) it has sued school districts, municipal stadiums, and non-profit hospitals. Hawk Tech has filed more than 200 federal lawsuits over the last nine years, mostly against small entities. Even after the expiration of its primary patent, RE43,462, in 2014, Hawk continued filing lawsuits on it right up until 2020. That’s possible because patent owners are allowed to seek up to six years of past damages for infringement.
There is a lot of moving parts that goes into the price of an item - whether it s raw materials, packaging, freight and transportation. And when there are fluctuations there, yes, it does get passed on, said Taylor James, Castle Retail VP.
James works for Castle Retail, the company which owns Cash Savers in Memphis and High Point Grocery. James said while some parts of the country are seeing prices spikes, and national chains may be raising prices, as an independent grocer - so far - his stores have not made drastic changes. Up to this point, it s been okay. But there is always a possibility that things can change, said James.
