Ask HN: I was hit with a patent troll lawsuit, how do I deal with it?
I am an IP litigator, and I have dealt with patent trolls repeatedly. I have taken these kinds of cases pro bono in the past for small companies (including through the EFF attorney referral list, <a href="https://www.eff.org/pages/legal-assistance" rel="nofollow">https://www.eff.org/pages/legal-assistance</a>), and I know that others have as well.<p>There are definitely low-cost and pro bono (free) options out there for very small businesses. The EFF attorney referral list is a good place to start.<p>I'm also happy to talk it through with you if you'd like more specific information - my contact information is here: <a href="https://shawkeller.com/attorneys/andrew-e-russell/" rel="nofollow">https://shawkeller.com/attorneys/andrew-e-russell/</a>
