It doesn't sound like any of these developers would have standing to sue. And personal jurisdiction would be a problem too, if they're just suing wherever they're located, instead of where the troll's located. If the troll is sure that a court doesn't have personal jurisdiction, it'll just ignore the suit (though of course there is some risk associated with that). And when the article says: > FYI - my definition of a troll is any party that intentionally misconstrues the claims of their patent to assert it against another. They don't have to be NPEs, all that is required is an intentional misconstruing of the claims. You know he doesn't know what he's talking about. This is not a definition of a troll that anyone uses. tl;dr: Back to the drawing board.
