This service is not for defending against non-practicing entities - but to defend against patent suits from large enterprises that the startups might be competing against (e.g. Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, etc) - not that Microsoft et al. engage in that kind of warfare against small-fry, but it's plausible.
