Trolls in the automotive business?

An article in the National Law Review suggests the following entities might be trolls working the automotive sector:


American Vehicular Sciences, who has sued OEMs on a number of patents allegedly covering “heads up displays” with elements of motion detection, voice recognition, and user interface features;

Innovative Display Technologies which has asserted a series of patents relating to “light emitting panel assemblies” asserted against LCD displays; and

Beacon Navigation bringing a series of suits in federal court and the International Trade Commission against numerous OEMs relating to automotive GPS navigation systems.
