'Silicon Valley' recap
The episode before "The Keenan Vortex" was "The Patent Troll," which aired on June 4. It was written by Andrew Law and directed by Jamie Babbit. It showed Pied Piper's space saver app going online and reaching the top 500 apps on the Hooli store. Stuart Burke (Allan Miller) contacted Richard asking for a licensing fee. He claimed that he owned the patent for the "storage of media files on a network." Richard tried hard to get out of paying for it.
Elsewhere, Jian-Yang bought an intelligent refrigerator and Gilfoyle wanted to hack it by using Pied Piper's former mainframe. Meanwhile, Bream-Hall was able to sign Keenan Feldspar. Laurie and Monica also hired Erlich. Speaking of Erlich, he was invited by Ed Chen (Tim Chiou) to a basketball game. Unfortunately, in an effort to fit in, he bought a hoop and broke his leg while trying to install it.
