On: How to slaughter a patent troll in 5 steps

[WildUtah]

It's not exactly "have a million dollars."

The read sixth step is "have a million dollars you don't mind spending without getting anything back for it."

If you win a patent suit, you don't win anything. You're just out a million or two dollars for nothing. And it means the patent troll has to look through his portfolio to find another one to use for the next time he decides to blackmail you.

The game theoretical approach to patent trolls makes an unfortunate amount of sense, but I wish that wasn't the case.
