A ton of it, from having other drones capture the hostile ones with nets, to disrupting the hostile drones RF signals to force it into landing.
Been a bit of a fad a while ago when drones first became somewhat mainstream.

Just because someone is making a product doesn't mean the product isn't stupid. I remember there was a mob making another anti-drone 'gun' which jammed GPS. That didn't end well for them. Unless the target drone is actively being used in a hostile manner (as opposed to idiots flying where they shouldn't be), then removing the operator's control of the drone without establishing another means of control makes the situation more dangerous.
