Apple Reveals Patent Litigation Filings, Says It Is Prime Troll Target

Apple Inc. revealed that it has been the target of 100 patent lawsuits over the past three years, which, according to the company, makes it the number one target for patent assertion firms. Apple disclosed details in friend-of-the-court briefs before the Supreme Court and in a December letter to the Federal Trade Commission. Some say that because Apple files its fair share of lawsuits to protect its innovative products, the company is uniquely positioned to lead the charge against patent trolls.
