We’re pleased to announce that the litigation against Sable has finally concluded on terms that we believe send a strong message to patent trolls everywhere — if you bring meritless patent claims against Cloudflare, we will fight back and we will win.
This is absolutely awesome: 👍😎
Emphasis by me.
CloudFlare makes more than a billion dollars a year in revenue. The work done for this project is probably worth millions to them and they paid out $100,000. That sounds like bullshit to me. Let corporations hire lawyers instead of doing their work for a pittance.
They should have increased the payout. It should have been a percentage of what CF would have paid had they paid the troll.
I don’t expect attorneys to be experts in technical work. Even those who are won’t have the same experience as the literal millions of techies out there who know really obscure technology.
