I have a small software company that is selling a product.
Some US company has wrongly decided that I am in breach of
their patent. They are going to my customers, telling them
to quit using my technology, or they will sue my customer.
I have lost customers over this. Are these guys within
their legal right to do this? If I wanted to bring this
issue to court and shut down this nonsense, under what law
would I do so -- libel? If a customer chooses to quit
using my tecnology, not because he believes that I am in
breach of the patent, but because he does not want the
expense of a lawsuit, is it still libel? Is it something
else?
