I really hope they do start suing individuals. Congressmen, and judges specifically.

  Patent trolls may be evil, but they're not stupid. The best we can hope for is for them to sue a close friend of a congressman or judge.

    Maybe not stupid, but I think their hubris is steadily growing. At some point a patent troll is going to fly too high and set fire to the entire business model.

      I wonder if a possible defense would be to intentionally trigger some political response via some patent trolling of your own.

        Dang, this is a REALLY good idea. Get a whole slew of companies to combine patents and start suing "influential" people. Call it lobbying with teeth. The EFF could be the "troll" and could take the extras as contributions.
