Companies like Google, BlackBerry, Earthlink, Red Hat, and others in the tech community, have been piling pressure on the U.S. government to take a stronger stand against companies that file patent suits but don't actually make any products themselves -- known formally as "patent assertion entities" but more commonly as patent trolls and patent privateers (a term favored by Google). Now someone in government is responding. Today, Senator Charles Schumer is expected to announce legislation that looks to snuff out patent suits brought by these companies in their early stages, by sending the suits to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for vetting before they hit the courts.
