Attention Maryland Business Patent Trolls want to sue you for scanning

We have seen an activity increase around Maryland from Patent Trolls sending out letters of intent to sue or settle for claims that your Copier MFP, Desktop Scanner, anything you use to scan to email based on "REAL" US Patents......... US Patent 6771381 /  US Patent 7477410  /  US Patent 7986426 . A.K.A Project Paperless.

Project Paperless has been going on for sometime and there have been many claims sent thru-out Atlanta and eastern Virginia area.. These Patent Trolls typical would go after app developers for using technologies provided that companies like Apple and Google require their app developers to use, but there is a growing trend of going after end-users.

Why are they coming after you? Let face it would you want to fight the deep pockets of the likes of Canon, Konica-Minolta, Ricoh, and all the others?  So, instead of making the scanner itself the issue, Project Paperless LLC claim it is the scanner + the network + the email system which if your using scan to email your "Liable" BUT WAIT! Very little of the patent actually makes any sense, it seems to spend lots of words on the scanner functionality and not much at all on the network need for scan to email functionally.
