In this post I will be talking about patent litigation by non practicing entities commonly known as patent trolls. Patent trolls are entities that have lots of patents and therefore accuse many companies of patent infringement. They threaten to sue companies unless they get the money they ask for. Many people think of patent trolls in purely a negative fashion because they scam others by applying for a ton of patents than making money off other people/companies. However, to a certain extent patent trolls are the ones who enforce the whole patent system. They make sure that no one is infringing on patents. Personally I think the patent trolls are scammers because they discourage innovation and only care about making money from others by doing nothing but having a patent.
