Currently, a patent reaching a final written decision in an IPR will on average have 78% of its claims found invalid. Perhaps more surprising, when there is a final written decision, 70% of the time all challenged claims in the patent are found invalid.

So-called ‘three strikes’ anti-piracy schemes were once considered a cutting-edge response to P2P piracy. Also known as ‘graduated response’, a typical scenario would see rightsholders monitor BitTorrent swarms to capture participants’ IP addresses sharing their content illegally. Those IP addresses would then be reported to a friendly (or coerced) ISP for matching against subscriber records, as a prelude to ISP customer outreach.
