Do you have any stats on "frivolous lawsuits brought by 'shakedown' attorneys"?

  Couldn't patent trolling also fall into this category (the category of legal "shakedowns")? If so, there are some stats on that. https://www.unifiedpatents.com/news/2016/5/30/2015-patent-dispute-report https://www.unifiedpatents.com/news/2016/5/30/2015-patent-di...

    I've never seen patent trolling fall into this category, probably because patent trolling is a viable way for firms to make money and being held liable for consumer injuries isn't.

    While patent trolling is a legal shakedown, I don't see the relevance to binding arbitration?

    As the other commentator mentioned, how is this related to consumer lawsuits?
