Miguel Bombach was quoted in the Ars Technica article, "“Patent Troll” Doubles Down, Now Accuses Clicker Heroes Maker of Libel," regarding GTX Corp.'s demand letters to his client, Playsaurus.

Miguel, Playsaurus’ attorney, had written to GTX’s attorney, Leslie Jacobs, that the "electronic token" patent, also known as the ‘838 patent, should be invalidated. Why? Because it is an unpatentable abstract idea, according to Miguel. The concept was resoundingly rejected in a unanimous 2014 Supreme Court decision known as Alice Corp v. CLS Bank.

For Playsaurus, Miguel responded to Jacobs in his own April 2 letter, refuting all of Jacobs’ legal arguments. "GTX Corp.’s letters amount to harassment; these letters must stop immediately," he concluded in the response letter. "Playsaurus refuses to provide pay-outs for meritless infringement claims simply to ‘avoid costly litigation,’ so stop sending baseless letters with draconian demands. Playsaurus fully intends to have the merits of its case decided in court and the Patent Trials and Appeals Board if GTX Corp. does not stop."
