City Sued Over Smart Meter-Related Patent
New submitter wb8nbs writes: Florida patent troll Atlas LLC has filed a suit against the municipality of Naperville, Illinois (paywalled). Atlas claims infringement of their patent on wireless communication where a hub node controls remote node responses. In 2011-2013 Naperville, which owns the local electrical utility network, installed Smart Meters on nearly all customers in it's serving area, a move that was bitterly opposed by a small group of residents.

The Atlas suit could have long range implications to the Internet of Things, but it appears they have sued and lost a similar case in Florida.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
