- kss238 9y agoWhat does the "new brand of patent troll companies" gain from this? Patent trolls exist today because of the monetary gain, why would those exist for no monetary gain?

- inetknght 9y agoYou're telling me that you can't envision a situation where Big Company A holds patents worth billions, and Big Company B wouldn't pay money to see those patents invalidated? You're telling me that you can't envision a situation where Big Company B could spend millions (instead of billions) in an attempt to bring down such patents and, even if it loses, consider it just a risky bet at best?
- rpedela 9y agoWhy couldn't Big Company B just do that themselves already?
- giancarlostoro 9y agoThe bigger patent troll company would have to prove it has been patent trolled by the smaller company though? If the smaller company has never even contacted the bigger one, how is there any shred of a patent abuse violation?
