The Dep’t of Justice (“DoJ”) and Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) have extended the comments period for the Patent Assertion Entities/Antitrust workshop. In December, a joint workshop was held by the DoJ and FTC to discuss Patent Assertion Entity (PAE) behavior, the effects of such behavior and how antitrust laws apply to such behavior. Following the workshop, the FTC and the DOJ was accepting public comments until March 10, 2013, but that public comment period has been extended to April 5, 2013.
