One lawyer I consulted told me not to read the patents- they were irrelevant. And the troll agrees. He said he didn’t really understand my business and didn’t care. We just looked like other companies he has sued. This is kind of important. We spend a lot of time worrying about the patent. Its the least important part of the equation. The important thing to understand is that you're being mugged, and the police aren't coming. They know its bad, but there are much bigger things on their plate than petty crime. The actual patent is just the gun/knife used in the mugging, a completely common and non-unique weapon. What the entrepreneurial community needs is a common sense guide to surviving a legal mugging just like the ones that address realworld muggings. There are simple things that a person can do as the victim of street crime that can greatly improve their chances of survival while minimizing loss. What might these best practices look like for startups facing trolls?
