Patent trolls rank right up there with private equity firms that own massive amounts of housing. Scum of the earth right here.

If they exclusively targeted larger companies, they’d be fine with me. Generally, the way they operate is to first strike smaller, more vulnerable companies to build their case before suing a larger one. Patent reform can’t come soon enough.

The fear of being targeted by a patent troll makes both small and large companies afraid to innovate.
