Merck has been sued by biotech NPE (Non-Practicing Entity) in a patent dispute related to former LOT Network/Canon patents. This is not an isolated incident, as Ericsson recently sold 332 patent assets in 89 families to a patent licensing firm.

The lawsuit highlights the growing trend of patent disputes between companies and NPEs. Acer's IP head has been pushing to unlock portfolio value while navigating SEP (Standard-Essential Patent) battles.
