Satirical, bizarre and amusing news website Fark has kicked the fark out of a patent troll called Gooseberry Natural Resources LLC. The original lawsuit was leveraged in January, claiming Fark infringed on a patent that covered a "method of inputing news releases into a web form, which would then compile the news release and email it to media outlets."The patent, for those who know Fark, has nothing to do with how the site operates. It doesn't distribute "news releases," aka "press releases," - it aggregates news.And here's the best part: the suit was settled, after 8 months, for a grand total of zero dollars.Disclosure: TechCrunch was also sued by Natural Resources, see bottom of post for more info.
