Sorry if dumb question, but isn't that patent expired? " Legal status: Expired - Lifetime" https://patents.google.com/patent/US8738435 https://patents.google.co

  "The patent has just expired, but the troll still has 6 years to ask anyone for the licensing fees or the damages that they incurred during the term of the patent — which is 20 years."

    Exactly. Some patent trolls wait near the end of the lifetime of their patent to start asserting them.
