Benefits & Harm
editNot having a specific replacement in mind. But to call patent trolls 'harmful' to manufacturing companies as like to say their suppliers are 'harmful' because they cost the manufacturers money too.
The section just seems totally from a manufacturers perspective, its generally just the pros and con for them. - Si — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.194.158 (talk) 19:53, 21 June 2007
Apple
editApple claiming to be a victim of patent trolls? Really? If that isn't the pot calling the kettle... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.205.44.26 (talk) 04:25, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
I added Apple suing HTC and some stupid "CleanerBot" vandalized it. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Patent_troll&type=revision&diff=966184885&oldid=966109946 It's false advertising to say "Anyone can edit" when bots go an screw the edits up. Apple copied swipe down notifications, you don't see Android suing them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.205.44.26 (talk • contribs)
- You added a context-free sentence without a source. It was rightly removed. This is not a place to randomly list companies that have filed patent suits. - MrOllie (talk) 21:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Instead of vandalizing, you could have did this and got a link and put the link there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.205.44.26 (talk) 23:34, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

editSomeone posted this message on the top of the page: "The examples and perspective in this deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. You may improve this , discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new, as appropriate. (January 2021)" The truth is, that Patent Trolls are pretty much unique to the USA, due to certain percularities of the US legal system. I provided one reason in the Intro:
- Patent trolling has been less of a problem in Europe than in the United States because Europe has a loser pays costs regime. In contrast, the U.S. generally employs the American rule, under which each party is responsible for paying its own attorney's fees. However, after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. on April 29, 2014, it is now easier for courts to award costs for frivolous patent lawsuits.
