To expose the entire patent troll ecosystem, HN should find a way to cloud source a database of patent lawsuits. Maybe include data points like - - the patent in question - the troll behind the suit - the defending IP litigator (so others can know where to turn when the troll goes after their next victim) - the outcome of the suit - settled, won, lost, costs, penalties, etc The more information that becomes available to combat these trolls, the better. Perhaps a site like this could run completely off donations, by saving money in legal expenses. Or maybe monetize allowing IP litigators to list their services in a directory. Maybe allow users to review IP litigators and link them to successful/unsuccessful cases and outcomes?
