Ken Seddon, CEO of LOT Network, joins us to discuss the PAE (Patent Assertion Entity) patent risk; how it has grown and what the future holds.

In today's global, intertwined economy, patent trolls are a threat to innovation, both now and in the future.

The three key areas discussed in this Business Conversations podcast include: •What is a patent assertion entity (PAE or "patent troll") •How does a patent troll affect business both in Australia and around the world •How can a company protect its innovation from costly patent litigation Ken Seddon is the CEO of LOT Network - an international community of the world's leading high-tech companies committed to protecting its members from costly patent troll litigation.

The LOT Network (a non-profit first launched by Google) is a group of high-profile tech and auto companies Patent Trolls. 2015 was the biggest year ever for patent trolls with nearly 80% of suits in tech, and LOT Network is one prong of a multi-prong defense for companies as varied as Red Hat, GitHub, Box, Lenovo, etc. With numbers like this - 3M to handle a patent troll suit (on average), 500% growth in patent troll activity in past 10 years, 80,000,000,000 per year in total on patent troll litigation - the issue is pervasive.
