These are all cases discussed already. @Future said the are winning a lot lately and wondering where he saw this.
I’d like to know of any judgement payments made because of one of these lawsuits other than to lawyers.
This is the most recent thing I can find without going crazy in depth - dated July 11th of this year.
Locked behind a paywall, none of the usual paywall breaking solutions are working to see the whole article though

Why thank you sir. It says the case is federal which means the case in question is public…somewhere. Here’s something fucking weird - while googling ways around it, a totally un-paywalled paragraph of the article showed up. Fucking weird but welcome.
" The judge also rejected a request by the two Halo Collective companies, Coastal Harvest LLC and ANM Inc, to toss Gene Pool’s expert witness, “at least for now.” Gene Pool initiated litigation in August 2021, filing a pair of lawsuits in California and Oregon, which were later consolidated."
If only Instagram didn’t wipe out all the og hash makers pages it could substantially support the fraud involved and cancel these lawsuits, meaning the individuals who were practicing publicly these techniques and machine designs would eliminate the patent ownership claims these massive companies are buying up.

You always have a nice booth. Hook it up and let’s bury the hatchet.

Their patents are set to expire in 2033… I think when it does someone should buy it and then just keep passing it around between cannabis manufacturer to manufacturer like a legendary scroll passed down through dynasties 
Yea really. You want to fly to couve and come to a Hortons ?

Who’s gonna pay for my ticket this year.
is ANYBODY gonna match his freak??
We made solid progress taking down patents in the Coastal case, but a few claims still slipped through. There are plenty of ongoing cases right now, mostly focused on manufacturing, but I can’t share too much publicly yet. The big picture isn’t about manufacturing—it’s about the licensing fees per unit sold in the lit market.
This is going to be a major issue for legal cannabis in the next few years, as more groups and individuals sell their patents to firms like the one in Boulder. This is happening more often than people realize, and some of the names involved would surprise this board. A lot of this is covered in the pitch deck posted on Future in the past, nothing has really changed - it’s real and it’s not going away.
And yes, there’s prior art all over the place. But just because it exists doesn’t mean anyone gets to prove it without sinking a ton of money into legal battles. The best move for the industry is to get organized now, before those early settlements lock things in. If we had a cost-effective, experienced group ready to fight back, we could change the game and at least slow down what’s coming. A lot of these patents are vulnerable, but that window closes a little more with each settlement. Last I checked, they were aiming for a 7.5% cut of all revenues as a license fee. It won’t happen at that % overall, but even a few points will make a difference.
