Budding story: Is BitTorrent headed for a patent fight?

Dixon Doll - ValleywagSometimes you can see a story coming a financial quarter away. Last week, a tipster dropped some gossip about VC firm Doll Capital Management, headed by veteran investor Dixon Doll.

So you know Dixon Doll? He invested in Bram [Cohen]'s BitTorrent business. Anyway, a Texas law firm is putting together a huge patent infringement case that will likely screw up the company's plans. Two - three months is the timeframe.

Nothing else about this story has come together yet, so don't go picking sides just yet. But if you know more of the story, tell tips@valleywag.com.
