Will membership in a patent co-op protect against a patent troll?
- A patent troll has no products, which could infringe on a co-op's patents - So they can still sue you without risk of retaliation.
- A patent troll often has a financial structure designed to protect any assets that it wins through lawsuits (For instance, maybe if they win a lawsuit they could immediately pay a dividend to shareholders). So even if you win a lawsuit against them the main assets they hold are dodgy patents.
