Rechtsmissbräuchliche Nutzung von Kleinstpatenten durch "Patent-Trolle"

This procedure is a written question concerning the misuse of 'utility models' (small patents) by patent trolls. It seeks to address how these entities exploit the simplified registration process to file low-quality patents and then demand licensing fees from legitimate businesses. The issue primarily affects small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and innovators who face unexpected legal costs and financial pressure from opportunistic litigation.
