This Note examines the evolution of the Noerr-Pennington doctrine and petitioning immunity, focusing on how these protections can preempt state-law liability for misleading statements in demand letters. The Note argues that reform to current Federal Circuit precedent would negate the perceived need for state anti-patent troll statutes because patent owners making such statements would be liable under state unfair competition or consumer protection laws.
