Patent Trolls: Nature and Legal Issues

Abstract

This research paper talks about the nature of Patent troll and the legal issues faced and misused by such claimants (Patent Troll). My paper talks about what exactly is patent and what are the basic 5 requirements to have it, which is then further referred to a patent troll, what exactly does patent troll mean, how does this bring up an issue in Patent Law. I have also discussed the legislative steps taken by the Indian Jurisdiction to avoid Patent Troll and ended up the paper with statutory backing up of precedents for a step which may avoid such patent trolls.
